What is my soul-predicament?
You have reached a stage in the evolutionary journey where you must counter social conditioning in order to align your biographical life with the true intentions of your soul.
Tell me the honest truth
The false path for which you have systematically trained and rewarded will never lead you to the Garden. For your journey, there is no map.
What is my heroic archetype?
The Genius; the Revolutionary; The Voice crying in the Wilderness.
Describe my most effective evolutionary strategy
Be willing to disappoint everyone who has a plan for you or who “only wants what’s best” for you. Follow the path of your own truth wherever it leads.
Give me an affirmation
I am what I am. What you think of me is none of my business.
What’s in my toolbox?
Into this physical world, you bring innovation, independence, and a suspicion of authority and “received wisdom.”
What burden do I bear for my community?
You bear the weight of seeing the pitiful hunger for others’ approval which motivates most human endeavor.
Tell me of my Shadow
Contrariness. Pointless eccentricity or rebellion. Emotional unavailability. Dissociation.

LYRICS
Did you know many years ago there was a rat named Gong
who thought it was not fair at all that he could not see the sun
he'd heard the story by his folks many times before
that rats were not supposed to step beyond the hidden door
Then along came Jack, a rat so old and wise
who was the one that no one liked, cause wisdom has its price
Gong so bold he followed Jack to dig from underground
a road that curved toward the light where freedom comes around
Don't you hide inside your hole, no, no, no
The leading rats might not be right, they've never seen the light
Gazing from behind a tree, excited and surprised
two rats so far apart in age, looking at their lives
the strangest sight they'd ever seen, scooping from a telescopic scene
two rats in search of light, transforming all their energy inside
Will you step outside your hole? Go, go, go
time has come to catch your flight, another dream is ripe
With motley rays pervading callous skin every step you take
outlives a chain of countless years, cause time and space are for the leaders' sake
Jack the Rat knew it in his heart and quickly turned to live among the stars
Gong our friend took the subtle hint and proceeded dancing with the wind
Don't stop searching for the sun. No, no, no
answers fail when questions come, the end has just begun
Musicianship tight as an atom, music wild and roaming as the imagination of the unknown. It’s like everything and nothing I’ve ever heard, a screaming reminder that rock is rebellion and must be reinvented each time it’s played, or else it’s just pop.
This Michigan-based trio trip, swirl, and echo their way through 11 songs of psychedelic, surf-tinged, garage rock. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 27, 2015
