classic 4KS:

our droves of loyal readership are may be unaware that this month marks the two year anniversary of quadruplekegstand. an occasion like this makes one think back to how and why it all began. thus i bring you the first installment of "classic 4KS".


originally posted 4/18/05, entitled "about astra":

the following is the "about astra" synopsis from the band's myspace profile [linked to the right]. it is presented here in its gloriously profound entirety:

"a starseed called ‘astra’ was planted on a late night drive by an object in the nightsky. the music is a gift of love that flows thru us: an offering of awareness & attunement. we reflect upon the opportunity to evolve; for each and every living being to grow into our highest creative potential. at its best, the experience offers a peaceful glimpse, a moment of serenity. however, such moments are sometimes broken by chaotic frenzy, mirroring the psychic dissonance that enshrouds our daily lives. our vision is to share a multilayered sonic picture of reality, in all its brutality & beauty, so that we may someday overcome the limitations of the belief that humans are the ultimate force for good and intelligence in the universe. when our playing is at its best, we tune into a knowing beyond knowledge, beyond reason and the cerebral limitations of our current cultural milieu. we come to you as the myth."
