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...
