The Story:
I’ve been making music for most of the parts of my life I can remember well. I started playing sort of faux-metal in Junior High, and took far too long to move on from that. I released my first album (with said faux-metal band) in 2001 or so. Around the same time, I was doing a lot of home recordings that were more on the ambient/noise side of the spectrum. In 2002, I released two albums, one a 30-song LP with WeakCore band The Lillacs, and the other a sort of rock/punk/moderately noisy thing under my own given name. A few months later, the band Parwana was formed. Between 2003 and 2006, we released a split, two semi-acoustic EP’s, a full-length, a regular EP, and a bunch of demos, as well as playing somewhere around 150 shows in maybe a dozen or so states. In 2005 I made an appearance on the first Desperately Obvious record, and joined the band a while later. I also did some stuff on Desperately Obvious’ Fall record that was released in 2007. In 2008 Richard Nolan and I completed our first RPM challenge under the name Devil Moves, releasing Totally Station on March 1st. Later in 2008, I joined BEWARE! the Other Head of Science. Both BEWARE! and Desperately Obvious had tracks on the B3nson Family Funsgiving comp which came out that year, and I played on and recorded both of those tracks, as well as a BEWARE! track for a comp that I’m not sure if it has actually come out yet or not. In 2009, I am trying to release something new every month. January, February, March, April, May, June and July have all been completed, and are available for free download at www.kparwana.com
Nursing Home Discoveries is a name I took for a last-minute solo show I was going to do many years ago, that ended up not happening anyway. It has been in the back of my head, sort of kind of being used since, and now I am taking it out to see what it can do. While many of the projects I have been involved in in the past have been known and differentiated from one another by a particular sound or genre, I have no particular desire or ability to do that with this. So for now, it is a little bit of a lot of things. Please listen, and maybe tell me something nice about myself if you feel so inclined.
