Come with us on this journey as we create our second full-length album, You Have It All!
We are a progressive space-opera rock band based in Los Angeles. Our influences range from classic prog-rock of the 70’s such as Genesis and Yes, to 80’s pop such as Simple Minds and Tears for Fears, as well as strong ties to musical theater.
The iconic David A. Hardy, the world’s oldest living space artist, has once again created our cover artwork. The Limited Edition CD booklet will contain lyrics, credits, art, photos, and a bonus disc containing an entirely instrumental version of the album.
We’re super stoked and honored to have been chosen to play next year’s RoSfest (May 8,9,10) in Sarasota, Florida! Our goal is to have our new album ready for the masses by then. You Have It All will consist of 7-9 tracks totaling more than an hour in length containing some powerful tracks such as “Conduit”, our first fully instrumental piece. It will include our latest single “Nothing Wrong”, an anthem of individuality and freedom, and our previous single “Beautiful Light” (our first waltz!) Progressive rock fans will especially appreciate the TWO 15-minute tracks we have planned. The title track is a strong, edgy piece made up of several parts. The final epic piece “Flowing With the Change” deals with acceptance of the past and looking into the future with exciting possibilities!
The epic-ness of this album steps up a notch with Billy Sherwood and Jon Davison , both from legendary band Yes, and Ryo Okumodo (from Spock’s Beard) making appearances as guest artists!
Rich Mouser, whose mixing repertoire includes Spock’s Beard, Transatlantic, Neal Morse, will once again mix our album, as well as join as co-producer on many of the tracks. Steve Leavitt, producer of our debut album Time and Space, will also return to co-produce.

With the help of Kickstarter, our debut album, Time and Space, was successfully funded and received some kinds words from progressive rock fans all over the world :
“One of the top 13 albums of 2013!” -TimeLord (Progarchy- USA)
“Absolutely brilliant stuff!” – Kevin Mulryne (Yes Music Podcast- UK)
“Great debut! highly recommended!” – Jürgen Meurer (Empire Music Magazine- Germany)
“[Time and Space] was clearly worth the wait. The time involved to bring this music to fruition is heard in every track; spotlessly produced and skillfully performed, the music is large and panoramic in scope. Highly recommended for fans of symphonic prog.”- Jerry Lucky (The Progressive Rock Files- Canada)
Kickstarter uses an all-or-nothing approach, so pledges only become donations if we reach our entire goal. During our first Kickstarter campaign, we successfully raised over $6000 for an album that just needed to be mixed, mastered, and manufactured. The 2nd time we did Kickstarter, we had $13,500 in potential backers, but failed to reach our goal of $36,000. This time around we have 3 songs complete (1/3rd of the album), and although the cost of recording, mixing, and manufacturing the album will be quite considerate, we’ve set our goal to $16,000 as the minimum needed to complete it and manufacture any merch related to the campaign.
We know this whole crowd-funding thing is a challenge. But we have acquired many fans and social media followers since our last go-at-it, so we are hoping that with everyone’s interest, generosity, and eagerness to share, we WILL have a successful campaign.
HERE’S HOW YOU CAN HELP
• Back the campaign early! The earlier you pledge, the more people will jump on the bandwagon.
• Share our campaign link via email, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or any other social media, along with a message telling your followers/ friends why you like our project!

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for sharing our campaign and/or for your pledge. We can’t wait to share our ambitious 2nd album, ‘You Have It All’ with you!
