Pas Musique “A Finnish Bedtime Story” The Phoenix Another futuristic electronica band, but seriously, these guys sound like they’ve come from Andromeda Galaxy. It is no wonder in their band picture they are all looking up. They are waiting for … Continue Reading
Death By Piano “Countdown” Death By Piano is back and even darker than before, if that is possible. “Countdown” is a remarkable song containing what might be my favorite line: “Will the quiet be too loud?” Death By Piano is comprised of singer/keyboardist Kalen … Continue Reading
