Art School Band! Warning!
Matthew and I had this idea to start a band that did not follow any typical band trappings. Matthew was sort of the vocalist, but he did not sing. I was to make music but I can't play the guitar. Some how we hooked up with Kim Bissy (Who now goes by Jesse Keeler) who played the saxophone. We were always very visual, and not so musical. But we played and made some good music anyway.
