Wall of sound

The band is sounding better and better every week. We only get Monday nights to play together, and I've been recording our rehearsals since February to track our progress. Our recordings are usually pretty distorted in some sense, because it's very hard to engineer a good recording when you can't get out of the room you're playing in to hear it. But, what does translate is the energy and how tight we are getting as a band. We're finally performing the material instead of just getting through it. The energy and volume has reached "wall of sound" status. On May 2 we are competing in a Battle of the Bands at Central Wyoming College, and I'm feeling really good about the music we are going to play. All we have to do is knock it out of the park with a 15 minute set. Grand prize is $500 cash, so hopefully we blow the other bands out of the water and can stash that towards our next album. We shall see. - Sean

This is the very first draft of concept art for the next Pigasus album: The Pig & The Hell Boar. Melia Rohrbacher drew this after we spent a couple of months talking about the theme of the album and collaborating on how it should be represented visually. The final version will be an acrylic painting, and I am very much looking forward to seeing what she comes up with.

Writing the lyrics for this album has been very therapeutic for me. I have struggled with anger management for much of my life with varying degrees of success. As many people do, I have had to confront some parts of myself that are dark, cold, and wounded to address the feelings of rage that sometimes bubble up and boil over inside of me. For me, it is a constant companion. One that grows stronger as I do. One that becomes smarter as I do. The years of work that I have put into learning mindfulness over my words and actions have been difficult, but very rewarding. I am reminded daily that the work is never over. Especially now, with so much anger broiling and surging on the world stage.

The anger is everywhere. It’s in my news feed, it’s in my town, it’s in my ears, and it’s in my mouth. There is little reprieve, and it is during these times that I (and indeed all of us) must remember: anger is the call to action, not the action itself.

I can feel the rage, scorching like the sun, awaken in my core. But I will not let it make a monster of me. None of us should.

The Pig & The Hell Boar are my metaphors for this internal experience. There is a myth that a good wolf and a bad wolf live in each of us. They compete for our souls, and the one that wins is the one you feed. So it is with the pig and the hell boar.

Which will you feed today?

The trick to flying is not to land when you fall.

Many things become possible when the sky is beneath your feet.

I never run voluntarily so if you see me running you should start running too because something is coming.

Agents of impossibility, now being piped directly into your neighborhood.

Maybe it's time for his second campaign.

A pig named Pigasus ran for president of the U.S. in 1968.

Here, have a song! It's about how humanity struggles to make any meaningful progress. We still fight the same demons year after year. The more things change, the more things stay the same. So it goes. Shout out to Kurt Vonnegut for always beautifully capturing the essence of humanity's struggle against apathy. His work heavily inspired the words for this song.

Fly away, far away.
