[ INFO. ]

[ AVA LUNA ]
Ava Luna sat cross-legged on top of an enormous statue of an Elephant. She had spent all morning climbing up, and now was enjoying the view as she sat squarely atop the beast’s head, with each of her small hands holding up her weight against either ear. - A young boy from down the block stopped his pattering gait to stand at the Elephant’s feet and gaze up at Ava, his hand shielding his eyes from the sun. “What are you doing up there?” he called. - “I’m riding,” she said, so quietly that the boy could scarcely hear. - “Don’t you know that Elephant will never move?” - “Yes,” Ava replied, as she clumsily uncrossed her legs and allowed them to dangle on either side of the great trunk like two delicate treebranches.

[ DIGITATA ] <--- Minneapolis!
"Save some room in your party pouches, cuz when we come thru it'll be like a wild party animal, maybe even a party rhinoceros, stampeding all over the place, spilling everyone's drinks, spilling them into my mouth, and using the taco meat as hair gel, whizzing on the potato chips, stuffing the bratwurst into my earholes and pretending they are some sweet new headphones. Tying my shoelaces together and falling down. Using swear words. Ashing my smokes in the cuffs of my jeans. That kind of party animal. Spread the word." [Translation ---> crunk-time club shit from the Dirrrrty Midwest.]

[ SOLID GOLD ] <--- Minneapolis!
"We were crafted from the finest steels of all of Asia. We were combined with hand woven goods to become strong implements. Our users wielded us to harvest the freshest produce. From this produce nurishment for entire nations was achieved. These nations grew to a triumphant civilization. Their culture envoleped all others, becoming one beast. This beast grew old. In death it uttered these words, "Where's my change?" [ Translation ---> crunk-time club shit from the Dirrrrty Midwest. ]

[ BALLOON ]
“They tossed this crafty, silky net over everyone listening, some sort of fractured gargoyle spewing gorgeous jewelstones all over the mess… Does that make any sense? Regardless, pop whatever balloons you’ve been playing with and go see this one.”
MySpace

[ BOUNCER FIGHTER —> x-CURIOUS PLEASER ] <--- Minneapolis!
"CuRiOuS PleAseR (Caleb Pease) is a rural midwestern boy who moved to the city and stumbled into his own little world of creepy folk music and notebook paper art....he composes performs and records all the sounds on his recordings besides the occasional apperance of other good folks."
MySpace

[ PHIL + THE OSOPHERS ]
“Phil and the Osophers is an orchestra consisting of, almost always, Philip Radiotes. Featuring Others. It’s alright to like us right off the bat. We have only been to jail once and that was just an overnight. Phil is neither heartbroken nor in love — imagine the possibilities. What else? The music sounds good! Why wouldn’t it? Phil, too, knows about your favorite band.”
