What have we been up to in 2021?

It has been a long two years since the pandemic started in 2020, and as humans living lives on this planet we have also been affected by it. Individually, we have been taking care of ourselves and making sure that our health, safety, and families come first. Musically, we have been spending the last couple of years exploring our sound, tightening up our existing repertoire, and preparing to record a full length 18-track album.

An 18-track album? Yes. It is an ambitious project, but these songs are so important to us and in times like these we think that now, more than ever, the people of the world (and local Gainesville area ) need music, our music!

Along with focusing on our music as a collective, we also have been cultivating our individual artistic and musical endeavors. We started our sister band, Hibiscus, and both Caitlyn and Tristan are scheduling time in the studio recording solo albums. Lunchbox has created a prolific body of artwork and has been showing art at galleries around town.

We are also trying to cultivate an online presence and community through various social media platforms like Den.Social, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook, and Tiktok. If you’re reading this please check us out on these platforms and hit the follow/subscribe button.

We have been working hard on ourselves, our sound, and our community to make it through. We thank you for all of your love and support!

Tristan Harvey “Pleasant Menace” Original Song

From the back porch, Tristan Harvey serenades you with their tune, “Pleasant Menace.”

“‘Cause when we were younger
I thought that I could change the world
With a smile, with a song.
But let me tell you ’bout MADNESS!
It’ll be your saving grace when you get lost 
What’s the cost? Who knows?”

(V)OWLS Around the House

Where have we been and what have we been doing?

Cultivating, Creating and Curating the fresh and new inspirations that spring time (and the threat of global pandemic) brings.

We had a big year in 2019 with shows and recording. We all put in a lot of hard work to gig, make merch, record, practice, maintain our six personal lives, and still remaining creative and writing new material. We did it though.

That is the magic of (V)OWLS. We persist.

We keep pushing. We are determined.

All six of us share the passion and compulsion to create art in every single interaction of our lives. The tiniest actions in our days are glittering and glistening in our creative thoughts. Whether we are caught in the waves of music, unearthing the pigments in visual art, spinning the webs of dream wheels or forging mighty swords from lavish linguistics, WE ARE ARTISTS.

The recent global situation has left us separated and in quarantine, but we are still connected in our hearts and through technology(Thanks internet). We have been creating new music, art, gardens, books, plays and so much more. We hope to come back from quarantine with new material and even more drive than previous years.

We ask you now, what are you creating today?

“The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the next best time is right now.”

Get out there (stay home though) and create a new experience.

We are here for you. We are here to support you with our music and our friendship.

Enjoy our music. We love you.
