Musicians or warlocks?
Ryan and Mikey Holmes deal in magic -
Greg has been coaxing sounds out of stringed instruments as long as he can remember - a child busking for change to buy groceries. After all these years, music remains his vital source of nourishment - a wanderer, living in a gypsy wagon in the high desert - the spell he seeks is ‘groove’!
When Mikey is cut by life's thorns, music bleeds from his mind. A triple gemini, he plays the guitar the only way he knows how: upside-down and backwards! “the world's turned upside-down, why shouldn't I be?”
The two serendipitously met at a Buddist Zen Center in New Mexico and quickly found that their mutual metaphysical mission was not in sitting, but in sound! Ryan and Holmes make music that they feel is true; Southwest Emo? Nu-Age? Heavy Mental? Easy Glistening? Hear them play and find out for your no-self.
