I see your halo start changing its hue in this lighting
Its pure white’s now tainted with blue and red 
and some violet
I was like you, you seem to remind me
I was like you, you seem to remind me of someone that
I was before, I was before the Blues

I see the green ones waiting in line for their prizes
And all the mean reds they’re Holly-come-lightly’s and frightened
I was like you, you seem to remind me
I was like you, you seem to remind me of someone that
I was before, I was before 
I was before, I was before the Blues

Paint violet with red and blue when you got nothing left to lose
Paint violet with blue and red. It’s every color in your head.
Paint violet with red and blue when you got nothing left to lose
Paint violet with blue and red. It’s every color in your head.

Paint violet with red and blue when you got nothing left to lose
Paint violet with blue and red. It’s every color in your head.
Paint violet with red and blue when you got nothing left to lose
Paint violet with blues and reds. It’s every color in your head.

Now I I was kind of like you, you seem to remind me of someone I was before
But I can’t be that color anymore

The Mean Reds And The Deep Blues

Land Giant was born and raised in the crawl space under Eddie Van Halen's 5150 studio. After enduring many spider bites and too many unwanted crawl space parties, Land Giant made a daring escape to the Great Pacific Northwest. During a rain soaked search for Sasquatch, Land Giant's Toyota Prius collided with an enormous raccoon, totaling the battery powered earth saver. After many extensive attempts at eluding the authorities Land Giant was captured by The MK ULTRA. Mind control tests were done by consuming massive amounts of radioactive LSD.  His brain was surgically removed and replaced with Dr. Hunter S. Thompson's. This resulted in inter-dimensional time travel and the ability to write indie rock hits drenched in guitar dominant beauty. Land Giant needed to get his priorities straight so he is currently using his super powers keeping vagrants from swimming naked in the fountain in front of Portland's City Hall.

Just me and a couple of friends writing, recording, and collaborating on music, or other projects in the arts. And, when possible, working creatively towards a common cause or charity,

We call our collective group of musicians, artists, writers, producers, photographers, mask makers, puppeteers, aerialists, and poets the Hallelujah Sunshine Cult, and for this project I’m the designated cult leader, lol. Dano Capristo on drums for tons of stuff, as well as handling most of the videography, and my chief collaborator. Some additional drum and percussionists appearing in the HSC  include Ian Engelsman, Cory West, and Pete Romano. Other guitars include Michael Pieretti, Addison Elliot, Travis Forencich, Dylan Welsh, Erik Rex, Paul Billbrough, Joe Adams, Anthony Medici, Ty Durbrow, and probably other peeps I’m forgetting. Additional vocals include Gordon Glover, Jamie Iwata, Michael Pieretti, Erik Rex, Joe Chiusano, Joey Annaruma, and Elsie Black.

Collaborating with these people, albeit remotely for the vast majority of stuff, was a life saver for me during the pandemic’s lockdown phase, which was when most of these tracks first began. Being able to work with other musicians at that time helped stave off the fear of the unknown and a monotony￼ that felt like Groundhog’s Day. A great distraction, if nothing else.

After a few big life changes which put the project on hold for over a year, I recently had time and space to finally get these finished up. The first release entitled “general mayhem” is posted, with two additional releases in the works. Thanks so much to everyone who gave their time and talents. 

Much love,
