Sitting on Trinity

February 1st, 2006 + 11:02 PM  ·  unkj

I don't quite know how to explain this. The idea for this tune came from a discussion I had with a very well travelled scientist. He once met one of the scientists that worked on the Manhattan project. Turns out this person literally sat on the first atom bomb the night before it was exploded. Imagine sitting on an atom bomb ... nobody has *ever* seen one explode ... nobody knows quite what will happen ... there's a wild electrical storm going on all around you. If it were me I'd be feeling a tad nervous. Anyway I wrote the music immediately after hearing the story and named it Sitting on Trinity after the strange events leading up the the Trinity test. As usual, it was fun to record and sounds pretty close to what is like live. Hope you enjoy it.

Green Rocket

January 31st, 2006 + 2:01 PM  ·  unkj

This is the title tune from our most current cd. As I've said before, we do geek rock and this is no exception. The song is about a car nicknamed the Green Rocket, an '85 Chev Caprice. It flys along the highway but ... doesn't have reverse. Hence the line 'only go forward' in the song. We had fun recording it ... hope you enjoy it.

Quanta

Hi! This is my first post here. We are a band composed of four serious geeks ... PhD's and all. I'd call our music heavily influenced by our geeky life experiences ... geek rock, if you like. Anyway this is quanta:

In and out of here
Matter warps the space
Gravity is strong
Unify the field

Ten dimensions
Hyperspace
Go through time
Strings collide
Gettin back
Before we left
Through an open hole

The world has gotten
Strung together now
Bosons, leptons too
Take a second look

Chorus again
