Why? There is no innovation The joke is over You can't find a melody Tattooed on the inside of your arm Because they intend to resemble the amplified spin cycle of a broken washing machine, because instead they sound like a hobo banging his head against a spaceship, because they are all pretentious assholes, the members of Ara Vora gave themselves a name not even they understand. They hope you don’t understand it, too. Two fixed points, – a latitude, a longitude. A moment in time. A few wires. A button. A simple rerouting of the pathways. A ‘0’ here, a ‘1’ there. You won’t even mind then. You won’t notice when you’re one of them. But you’ll stay up…all night. Two guitars and a bass weaving themes and melodies through tasty rhythms. Sparkling hooks and dirty looks. Warnings and tales of indecorum. Rock music. Yes, yes…that’s the stuff. Ara Vora welcomes you. Since you’re here, stick around a bit. We won’t tell. Listen to a song. Look at a picture. Visit our friends. They’ll invite you in. Find out when we’re playing next and put it in your palm pilot or burn it into your arm with an ember of your dreams. Come. Time is running out. With sagging flesh and dimming wits, the arbiter issues cold judgment. Science could not care less for me, cold arbiter biology. The warm glow from the monitor taunts us because it has no relevance in the matter. Breathe, type. Breathe, type. It's alive! Ara Vora @ the Ace of Clubs, NYC, 1/21/06 In late 2002, singer and guitarist TJ Weihing abandoned his hermit-like 4-track living-room recording lifestyle and succumbed to the pestering of friend and guitarist Colin Tracy, who sensed potential in a joining of forces. The two began to write strange little songs characterized by layered patterns of shifting guitar chords. In late 2003 they were joined by drummer and poet Chad Reynolds, fresh from Cincinnati and looking to make some rock n' roll trouble. The strange little songs became much, much bigger. Bassist Chris Tonelli, also a poet, joined the band not long after, rounding out the sound of what would become, after much debate, a band called Ara Vora. In September 2004 Ara Vora took the stage for the first time, and have been gigging steadily around Boston since.
