About this user

The son of a chief, the son of a minister, and the son of a revolutionary sit inside Three Brothers Taqueria; the hub of a small western town no larger than 2.5 miles in radius. They speak of ancient queens, and pointless dreams, satellites causing cataracts and solar paneled Cadillacs. At sunset, they will return home to a small studio and shrine along the San Francisco Bay where they will anoint their faces with paint and dance in a pool of sage smoke 'til the sun wakes. These men are Fear & Fancy.

What united this timeless trio? Perhaps it began with Chieffs call to bring together his old New England prep school chum, Legion, and college classmate, Dot, to share and explore their individual stories about metaphysical events that each had encountered: the spirits whispering in one of their ears; God striking another like lightning; a car crashing the others reality. Realizing that they were haunted by the promise of a better tomorrow, these young men built a studio-turned-shrine in sunny Silicon Valley, a safe haven where they could search and imagine beyond their current existence. Thereafter, these messengers became known collectively as Fear & Fancy.

Fear & Fancys music is a jubilant proclamation of the dawn of an age governed by the power of love rather than the love of power. Its sound-scape blurs time and space, swirling sounds of the carnival with the powwow, 80s New Wave with 20s Pop Standards into a digital potluck of artistic ingenuity that bumps.

Perhaps the ability to move audiences to party and ponder is the mark of Fear & Fancy that distinguishes them beyond the marks of paint that adorn their faces during live performances. Fear & Fancy has already shared the stage with notable artists including Bad Boy Records Janelle Monae and Day 26, Konvict Records RIZ, platinum-selling French R&B/Soul recording artist Tété, and Portlands French troubadour Eric John Kaiser. Currently producing their debut EP, Fear & Fancy will begin their first tour beginning Spring 2010.
