Devon e. Levins and John Castro were boyhood friends in Las Vegas. Their friendship, initially based on a mutual affection for carnation instant breakfast drink and KISS merchandise, would eventually take them to San Diego where they would learn the kinds of things you can only learn in rock band...things like drink tickets are really important some people and it's never worth fighting with your friends over a smelly t-shirt. They learned that canned ostrich isn half bad if you just put a little wasabi paste on it. And they shared secrets. In fact, Devon was the only person in the world who knew precisely why it is that John is so deep disturbed by green tomatoes- until one late night/early morning that is. Devon and John were enjoying an evening of
programming paid for by the Psychic Friends Network. There was a caller, who had always sensed that something very wro
involving an iguana, a turntable and a naive showgirl had occurred one night backstage at a Tony Bennett show. That
caller was Stephen Calhoon, a drummer from NYC, and Devon a John knew immediately that they had to meet him. Fatefully, John's Aunt Eunice in Vegas knew Dionne Warwick pet ferret's stylist and was able to arrange a meeting. The Gan of Three soon huddled together in a Queens basement and beg making a neighbor rankling noise...
Three shows later they conspired with sonic wizard Wharton Tiers to record, mix, and master their self-titled CD in three days at his Fun City Studios...The result is an album that sounds like the band at it's live shows stripped down and yet full of angst and humor at the same time.
PRETENDO, an NYC trio of ex-/present members of Enon, Skeleton Key, Creedle, Rugburns and Morricone Youth, resembles a compilation of its counterparts. PRETENDO's second album simply entitled "][" was engineered in 2007 by the legendary Martin Bisi with artwork and lyrics contribut by the always subversive billboard artist Ron English. ][ i
