Listen to Ardent Octopus' podcast of how we make music, videos and more. ardentoctopus.mevio.com

On this channel you will find ardentoctopus videos and ardentoctopus produced videos.

Videos so far include:

Ardent Octopus - Pete and Steve
Steve - Solo
Gary (Doctorbuc} and Steve
Jade and Steve (Wasted Stateside) What do you get when a member of Ardent Octopus records with a member of Wasted Day Collection?


Mission Statement:

"We play our stuff we edit and we don't edit. We laugh we reminisce and we look to the future. Mostly, we entertain ourselves and if others are entertained in the process then perhaps we are not alone."
Pete and Steve have been working together, on and off, since 1984 (as we both have other lives). One way or another we always get back to the music. With the Internet being what it is, the possibilities are endless.

Record Label: Ardent Octopus
Label Type: Independent
Band Members: Pete and Steve
Influences: Pete was listening to a lot of Classic Rock when we met. I was mostly into Blues and Blues-based Rock. We have never had a shortage of common ground.
Sounds Like: If Zappa had written Horse With No Name and was a squid living in 1192 with access to today's technology and drank to much Grog it may have sounded something like Adrian Belew if he was a one arm sailor writing desert sea shanty's on a zither in a polish salt mine with a bad back from building pyramids while standing on one foot in a Malaysian sweat shop, hmmm giver a listen as I am just certain that pegs it yet wonder if the rain forest will be humid with no trees.
City: Lake Worth

thanks for the nice comment on the elmore james tune "everyday i have the blues".ray is an old friend of mine i video taped back around 1997. i have'nt seen him since around that time he's down in scranton, penna area, i'm in toronto presently and he does'nt even know he's famous yet, ha, ha. one day somebody will tell him they saw him on youtube and the first thing he's gonna say when he see's it is, "wow! do i look young there!" ha, ha.
my problem is i can't buy a good camera to copy all my old video's cause they don't make camera's that play 8 mm anymore. can you imagine that. just my luck, ha, ha. but one of these days i'll find one. thanks again for the correspondance friend. your a great musician and unfettered by ego so that its a pleasure & inspiration to watch you at work. all my best, andyfedel
