You may not know it, but I am the resident musician here at blacksundae. In fact, I’m sure you didn’t know that, as I’ve never posted anything remotely music-related. Well, my friends, that is soon to change.

In college, I played multiple wind instruments, took opera lessons, and even attempted the viola at one point, but ever since graduating I’ve felt out of the loop (all washed up, pink-slipped, etc.). When I moved to Austin, things seemed to get even worse–I landed the squarest job I’ve yet had, as an analytical chemist, and even though Austin is known for its vibrant music scene, I just couldn’t find the right band for me. I guess it must have taken me exactly two years to settle in, folks, because suddenly, things are lookin’ up for Old Gil!

Meet my new band, The Invincible Czars:

Oh, I do love them so. This is the first non-school-related band I’ve ever really performed with, so I’m all giddy like a meddlin’ biddy.

Anyhoo, what this means is that now that I am much BUSIER, I’ll be more likely to post here, especially relating to music in all its various, wondrous forms. Don’t ask me how that makes any sense. Oh, and they have a MySpace, too. I mean, WE have a MySpace.
