The Octopus Project:

This is one band I wish I had gotten into earlier. Hailing from Austin Texas they mix many styles in creating their tracks.

"On April 30, 2006, the band played the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. They were offered the opportunity after a fan, unbeknownest to the band, entered them in a contest held by the festival on MySpace in which voters were to "nominate their favorite band for an open slot at the festival" -wiki

I was very sad to learn that I missed them at coachella but I also just recently learned I missed them at Mccarren pool as well. Something about their music is refreshing and uplifting. Their album 'Hello, Avalance' is like a a musical journey. An unpredictable story that keeps your ears and mind excited. This is probably my main reason for being into this group so much right now. There is way too much predictable shit out there and this is really a breath of fresh air. Check out some videos and tracks below.....
