Info

In October of 2002, in Durant, Oklahoma, (of all places) five musicians came together and formed Thin Air Privilege. From 2002 until 2005 they played over 150 shows from Dallas, Texas to Southern Oklahoma, making many fans and a large following along the way. In 2004 they scored the Night Life Magazine “Rock Band of The Year” award. Around the middle of 2005 the band went on a lengthy hiatus. In late 2007 all of the members decided it was time to get back together and make music again……with the exception of lead singer Eric Hendley. With Kris Grimes taking over on lead vocals, they are now a solid and unstoppable four piece band. Thin Air Privilege is NOT your typical rock band. A desire to experiment with pushing the boundaries of the genre has prevented that, and thankfully so. The result of this is a band that has the ability to kick your ass, pick you up off the ground, soothe you, and then do it all over again. Thin Air Privilege is Kris Grimes(lead singer, songwriter, lead guitars),Wes Ford(lead guitars, back up vocals), Tony Marsh(bass, back up vocals), and Chad Masters(drums). Their first show back in the game is on July 12th @Breaktime in Denison, Texas. With another show July 26th @Skillman Street Bar in Dallas, Texas.....and there are MANY more to come.

    Not every Rock & Roller can combine various elements of reggae & country western hip licks on guitar with a combination of exotic World vocals , a dissonant choir , an overly bodacious Rock drummer , two bass guitarists , & even toss in a symphony orchestra in this extremely loose , kind of Jazzy / Grateful Dead style of an extended jam session ~ recorded in mono at my Ashram / Asylum whilest partying like a maniacal rock star with his final death wish ~ on a week long binge that has no ending in sight , & very well might continue well into the next couple of years ~ and actually look this good doing it .....

    Music is Living in Motion !
    By conceptual design I've successfully incorporated an obscure semi-random artificially intelligent element of transitional potential throughout every applicable aspect of my artistic creativity. I am providing this optimal psychological communication, & therefore developing an ideal situational environment that will facilitate the sustained future transformational possibilities in relation to all of my musical compositions. This is truly a new revelation! I do this in order to allow the music to forever move forward , to refresh, to remain in transition, in perpetual motion, to organically grow, to become something that's always different from what it just was, to evolve beyond what it is now & to constantly change into what it eventually inevitably might someday become. I am bringing the music to life !!!!! http://www.cdfreedom.com/artists/thealtruisticmessiahbenvandagriff/catalog/theceoofrockroll.1/

    Whuzzaa guyz...here is a new collaboration between myself and Robert Tiernan that you might find interesting. It is an instrumental duet with myself on acoustic guitar and Robert playing a one of a kind instrument he built from spare parts called a Sit-Jo (part Banjo and Sitar) called "Monkeys Fly". I think you will enjoy it!
