The Technicolor Nightmare  The Band (Members and Instruments) As a power trio, we have only guitar, bass and drums. Our bass player, however, does use a Vocalizer for some added harmonies and trippy effects, along with an effects processor for the bass to add some depth. Steven Caudill - Bass/Vocals Having been playing Progressive music for a number of years, Steven is the main powerhouse for our song ideas, and as we like to call him, the Keystone in the archway. (However, all members take active roles in the writing process.) Joe Spradlin - Drums Joe is an animated, lively drummer with a knack for groovin'. He is more inclined towards polyrhythms and interesting patterns. Waylon Whitson - Guitar This is me. I'm a younger musician than most in this scene, having been playing for much less time than the other members in the band, but having always had a propensity for Prog Rock. Lots of Gilmour influence and funk/jazz style chords. Fan of the Ionian major scale and its relative minors as placed within pentatonics. The Vision (Possible Concepts and Goals) While, for the most part, simply enjoying to play music, we do have a set of goals in mind. We would like to establish ourselves a little more on the festival scene, and we'd love it if you were a fan! #1 goal, however: Land a gig on the Moon. The Music, and where to find it. Our music is comprised currently of ten songs, not all of which are available online. The ones that are however, will be linked to here. Does all of this sound like something you might like? Then head on over to our bands official Facebook, or check us out on Soundcloud or Reverbnation. We are just a couple of young guys trying to do something with our music, and we'd greatly appreciate you taking the time to get to know us. If you do find something you enjoy, leave some feedback, and give us a like or a follow to keep up with new developments, as we are always evolving. We currently have begun work on self recording and producing an EP. (For samples of the sound quality, check out Silence of the Clams and On the Run.) For Silence of the Clams, an airy, ambient ballad about dissociation, Scotty's Body, a space rock epic climaxing in some sweet emotional goodness, and Multitude, a song named for (you guessed it) its number of time signature changes (Fun fact: the song actually changes time 43 times before dropping into the second half, titled the Evil Vegas Showtune) go here: http://www.soundcloud.com/thetechnicolornightmare" rel="nofollow - Band Soundcloud For On the Run, a funky chuggathon and progressive groove, alongside a track simply titled at this point, the Blues Jam, with ambient post-rock whisperings and epic Floyd-esque guitar solos go here: http://www.reverbnation.com/technicolornightmareky" rel="nofollow - On the Run and the Blues Jam (Reverbnation) To like us on Facebook and stay current on what we're up to head over to here: https://www.facebook.com/thetechnicolornightmare" rel="nofollow - The Technicolor Nightmare Official Band Page We greatly appreciate any attention you give us (we're like starving children, really.) and http://s20.postimage.org/xe68ib5gt/scotty.jpg" rel="nofollow - Scotty demands it. We look forward to hearing your feedback! -------------

Btw, my name is Waylon Whitson, and I'm a guitarist. I play a Gibson SG 60's Reissue with P90's run through a Vox Valvetronix 140 and a Peavey Super Reverb 600W at the moment, as well as an Orange 4x12 400W cabinet, which I am currently in between heads for. I greatly enjoy progressive music, and pretty much anything progressive is great in my book. If it's not progressive, it's not real music, it's just programming. I'd like to make some friends here, discover some new music, and get the word out about my own. Hit me up! -------------

Who knows for sure, but it'll likely be self produced and self recorded, so we're gonna need a small army to help get the word out. Thanks for the compliments. We really love what we do, and it's always nice to hear someone appreciate it. I'd also like to say, if you take the time to listen to what we've made, I don't think you'll be disappointed. I think you might even enjoy it.
