I use to take lessons from him. Pretty cool guy and awesome drummer! I also met Jose Garcia through Francis at an art supply store they both worked at, after the Cipher days.

And thank you, Marsha, for the fantastic music! I'm so glad the internet has been invented, otherwise I had had no chance to find this in Germany.

It's so much more satisfying to read about music when the writer's motives are so pure and... yeah, romantic. I've been loving this place for the past few years. Thanks for all you do!

In fact, some of my earliest posts on Last Days were about those bands.

They were a very young, nerdy cool band who were excellent performers (kind of the Weezer of that time). Cipher actually did several shows with HH and the B People, who were also really interesting sonically. I’m so glad Alex mentioned Humans Hands…I had totally forgotten about them.
