The hub of this endeavor - Sarah Cravens on bass, Susan Morris on keyboards, violin, and vocals, and Todd Cravens on guitar and vocals - had such a blast playing together that they decided to turn it into a ceremonial creative collaboration; concentrating more on the creative facet and less on live presentation.<br><br> Enter former Young Lords drummer, Jeff Lee - who moved to Indy from Chicago in 2007 and joined up. With that, the chemistry is complete, and they are taking the music to the streets.<br><br> Stationed on the shoulders of giants such as Nick Cave, Royal Trux, Morphine, Black Sabbath, Suicide, The Cure, Syd Barrett, PJ Harvey, and too many others to extrapolate, Dark Matter Halos’ approach is based on filtering the infinite creative meandering that rock ‘n’ roll provides through the unique chemistry that the band has developed over the years. <br><br> From the psyched-out melodicism of “Spend it All” to the quirky and succinct “EBE” and the balls-out Stooges-esque rocker “Dead to Rights,” the band is not exactly keeping within any predefined margins. Let’s just say they’re less interested in blazing their own trail, and more interested in taking the back roads to god knows where. dark_matter_halos true 2009-06-16T21:17:25-05:00
