OH YEAHhhhh! we got a nice lil' ole paragraph in this weeks Phila City 
Paper. They called what we do a "layered" sound but at least they noticed 
us while we were looping for the "record".

Also, we would like to formally announce the addition of Cory Neale on 
upright and electric basses to AKASH.

Cory's Bio is as follows:

Cory Neale claims to have learned music through osmosis via a Sony 
Walkman. He has played double bass and bass guitar for more than 14 years 
and has
recorded and toured extensively in the regional Northeast US Currently he 
is
1/3 of the trio in Justice on a Budget,  a free-jazz group playing 
regularly in the Philadelphia area. Cory has also played in local 
Philadelphia groups
the Barnabys (spinArt/Polygram), Camp Audrey, Zoom (the original girl 
group)and "cory". He appreciates such Walkman Mentors as Eberhard Weber
