who are Andrew and Mary Kate Kirby, from Dallas, Texas meeting Skip in California, when they worked together in a blues band run by a local bandleader, had Andy on Keyboard and Kate on congas, Skip on drums, other players on guitars and bass. When that ended, they got together, jammed a little bit, and formed a trio all well-versed in harmony. Playfully working at loosening the boundaries set by the classic rock masters... Two Moons became Tu Moons...  Then
became "The Ravages Of Time" Andrew Kirby |
"TU Moons" at
first,
was Andy and Kate on Acoustic guitars and Skip on piano. They performed several shows at the Gem Theater in Garden Grove,Ca, and
a couple other venues, for the 'Live' Magazine music
showcases.

Tu Moons evolved
into a raw
electric sound,
"...with
Andy playing fuzz guitar, KATE on bass, percussion,
and SKIP on electronic drums... all done in headphones... "RAVAGES OF TIME No longer working in an
apartment
living room, next to an early-to-bed, early-to-rise
neighbor... "We
moved to a small bedroom sized studio and set up the band in the room
with the recording equipment, and we were there for a year maybe..."
using Pro Tools le with 16 inputs, in the master bedroom of the house
next
to the landlord's home. It was "roughing it", but evetually the room
got treated, and things sounded a lot tighter... Not
"anal-yzing"
it too much, kept it as spontaneous as possible "fixing it in
the mix" type of writing process, getting
the basic inspirations and ideas to tracks as they flow (asap) Then go
back to fill in the
blanks. There are currently hundreds of songs waiting to be
revisited, hmmm___
