I found this band because I was looking at Truman Capote's collection of short stories "Music for Chameleons" and one thing led to another. Here's a nice, relevant (to music, art, etc.) passage from Capote:"My life --- as an artist, at least --- can be charted as precisely as a fever: the highs and lows, the very definite cycles.I started writing when I was eight -- out of the blue, uninspired by any example. I'd never known anyone who wrote; indeed, I knew few people who read. But the fact was, the only four things that interested me were: reading books, going to the movies, tap dancing, and drawing pictures. Then one day I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation."I've provided a link so you can read up on Capote, if you're interested.http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/database/capote_t.htmlhttp://www.thechameleons.com/
