about

The band produced their third EP "Cleopatra" with Scott Tusa in 2006. The band consisted of Utah on vocals and guitars and bass with Dean Taylor (Brian Jonestown Massacre) on lead guitars. Guest artists on the EP included Dave Han from Astral and Cary LaScala from Bellavista.

Sunday Morning and Dark Eyes were originally recorded for an independent film that fell through, additional tracks were added to finish the album. Dark Eyes was re-recorded and is a more broody, fuzzy than on the previous EP.

Cleopatra was originally released in 2006 but was remastered and given new life in 2011. The version here is the remastered edition.
