Palace of Fine Arts is Paco and I, most of the time. Brian played guitar with us at a couple shows. Paco and I started playing in 2019. He plays drums on Joseph Demaree - "Release Me". We recorded a couple tracks at KPFA Berkeley. I moved to Portugal for a couple years. Since I've been back we've been getting down at his place in Pacifica. Gotten to play a few shows with all the bands on this comp and look forward to more!
