"It [was] a stooone groove, my man" -- burly dude, Trading Places
That's how I feel about this band, thanks to the musical company I keep. Cathy (lead vocals), Christine (lead vocals), Lamont (guitars), and Steve (percussion)
make playing more enjoyable than I ever thought it could be. We have a great time together on stage and with our audiences so, for us, it's like going to a party
where we always get to hear our favorite tunes!!
"You're DEAD!" -- Luther Heggs to Calver Weems, Ghost and Mr. Chicken
Nah, though I'm certainly closer to Mr. Bad News than I was when I started gigging, 36 (gulp!) years ago. Since then, I've
played hard & prog rock, disco/funk, standards, top 40, jazz, big band, latin, and reggae. It's cool to play in a band
that allows me to tap into so many of the styles I've played before and that has such awesome vocals to energize it all. It's every
musician's dream!!!
"Boards...don't hit back" -- Mr. Lee to O'Hara, Enter the Dragon
Neither does a guitar when you smash it on-stage. However, when you're an income-challenged (i.e., married with kids) musician,
you're especially kind to your instruments. Accordingly, you won't see Cathy, Christine, Lamont, Steve, or me in destructive or
incendiary rants on stage - sorry, no mosh pits for this band! Kind as I try to be to my bass, I am prone to capriciously slap, pluck, and twang it and,
thankfully, it seems to like it. Sometimes, you have to be a little cruel to be kind.
"I was born to love you..." -- Ty Webb singing to Lacey Underall, Caddyshack
Nothing like an original tune, sincerely sung by the songwriter. Yeah, we have some originals, courtesy of our talented guitarist, Lamont. We usually perform them when we play at local venues,
or you can listen to sound bites of them on our Hear Cosmic page.
Check 'em out!
"Tanks for nuttin'!" -- Maggie to Danny Noonan, Caddyshack
How rude! Sorry - what I meant to say was thanks for browsing our site and for reading my page! I hope you'll come out to have a good time with us
when we play. In the mean time, be safe and happy.
-- Steve T.
