The Raventones: Home
The Crew:

Randy Hamme - drums, percussion, engineering.
Current Location:
Transmitting from stationary orbit, Cascadia Outpost, Earth, with occasional away missions and noisy diplomatic summits over cold pints with the natives.
The Continuing Mission:
Psychospiritual illumination through creation and dissemination of pleasantly patterned noises and elliptical ideas. Surf, soul, sci-fi and improv psychedelia, a truly superb soundtrack for mad scientists in wood-fired rocketships and other adventuresome Journeying sorts. Engage!
" .....themes of love, life, humanity, pain, struggles, and relationships. ...easy on the ears and stays primarily in the low end of the sound spectrum. Knowledge of the fact that TR Kelley has Asperger’s Syndrome is irrelevant to enjoying and appreciating the quality of this work. Her songs at times hint at her different perspective and her sense of advocacy."
