In November of 2008, a group of five sprouts banded together to form "A Version Of."  After one practice, it was clear this was official- the band was that “next big thing” in their lives.  There were droughts and famines but nothing dried their spirits.  These eager children pushed onward and recorded six songs themselves in their practice room.  Long hours and sleepless nights of recording, editing, mixing, printing, copying, and labeling took place.  Then in May 2009, a self-titled EP was finally released.  Consequently, pulse-wrenching and “sweaty-but-so-worth-it” shows came into place.

A Version Of is all about the live performance. Swinging guitars and microphones, or randomly making up an easy dance is their thing- anything to get the crowd moving as if they were band members.  For this band, shows are not a half hour of gloating or showing off but more a vaudeville.  The quintet plays the soundtrack to a night where you can yell out what you want, how you want it, and know it is heard.  It is their obligation to have you feeling loved and drenched by the end of the set.

From childhood he enjoyed the music of such blues/rock artists as Jimi Hendrix, War, and Santana.

Founded in 2000, Fathappy has been making inroads around the Northwest with their own brand of up-tempo, intellectual rock.

Not your usual singer-songwriter act, Michael Carlos writes music that ranges from full-throttle rock, to Latin-influenced music, to acoustic ballads with strings.

The Michael Carlos Band is energetic enough to be at home on large outdoor festival stages, but balances thought-provoking folk-rock with acoustic material fitting a coffeehouse. In between, you’ll find music that defies any attempt to limit it to one genre.

Expect something different! See Michael Carlos on line.

All elements involved are aimed toward evoking specific evolutionary patterns within the mind; a subliminally charged shift toward a conscience revelation.
