Halo Fauna-Blame a Bird For Your Shortcomings
Although it took forever to record, we finally did it. yay. Should have been much easier considering two of the people live with the IYMI equipment 24/7. This is off our latest release, Durak, on Plan-it-X. I now understand how awkward this whole project is.

Halo Fauna-Senescense
One piece to 4 piece to 3 piece to occasional 4 piece, Halo Fauna has changed a lot over the years. With the recent release of "Durak", they have cemented their sound in, well, cement. I suck at writing.

Halo Fauna-New Paltz Summer
It may not look like it, but I'm pretty out of it too. You can pretty much infer our state by the bottles duct taped to eric's hands. Dom is in top form.

Halo Fauna-Futility and Familiarity
One of our last and best shows on tour with White York, although they didn't play this night. This was at 99 Custer Street in Buffalo, and it was great to see all our friends from up there.

Halo Fauna


I think it's time for a proper bio. No more rants and money laundering schemes

Basically the history is as follows: We all move to New Paltz. Eric starts solo project, write tons of catchy tunes, providing drums AND guitar for the recording of his album, of which I forget the name of, but it had some intense packaging and some transparent material attached to it. Following the release of this self released release, ahem, Eric realized that it would be near impossible for him to succeed in pulling off a one man band. So he recruited me, (Dave, also of Air Raid Barcelona infamy) to replace the drum tracks live. I do a less than stellar job, which I am still saddened about. Eva also joins up adding some killer clarineting (sp?) and changing a standard 3 piece folk rock group into something much better and different. Dom, fresh off of the "saw if coming from a mile away" demise of Hammers & Popsickles, finished off our happy crew.

We rerecorded basically all of eric's songs over for the first full length, even going so far as learning them as we were recording. It was all done in eric's bedroom with an ever-crashing version of (Audacity?). We played a bunch of shows after that, did a mini mini mini tour of California/Arizona, only because Eric and Eva decided to fly the coop midway on their yearly Gadabout Film Festival. During the Gadabout tour, Eric and Eva performed some of our jams acoustically. A awesome guy named Kenny heard Eric and Eva play and told them that he'd help them put out the full length, providing the me with my first real pressed cd. Once they got back from Gadabout, we worked on the EP, and recorded with the great Dan Edelman, of Technicalities fame.

Stay True Paltz came and went, Eric and Eva moved to Buffalo, I moved to the city, and Dom stuck it out. Dom joins Potboiler.
