There is no power outage here. The intellect is in constant exchange of ideas, never created, never destroyed. Minmae travels. In the mini-van (mega-fun), licensed to il. Most behavior is unneeded. This is year eight of a band that has morphed from a purposeful deception to the realization of what it swore to never be. Josh Kempa (bass), Chris Calvert (drums),and Sean Brooks (guitar, vocals) make clean pop that broils under the sun. Perhaps. How many adjectives can one use? The band will be releasing their new full length CD on Greyday Productions this June. Both Greyday and Minmae moved to Portland for the coffee. ‘I’d be scared, were you still burning’ deals with Minmae short stint as a Sri Lankan taxi driver, with artwork by Jesse Ledoux. Minmae has become the embodiment of the Dionysian American ghost, "like Iggy Pop if he made a career out of 'The Passenger'" (2005 Salyer, Andrew. UpbeetMusic.com). S Brooks himself sounding "more and more like a very young Lou Reed" (2005 babysue). Now touring the country like Raskalnakov roaming the streets of Petersburg, Minmae straddles the 1980s, the 1880s, and is alive in a Malinowski-an sense today in the now!
