As a loud & proud member of the LGBT+ community, Pride Month is near and dear to my heart. Naturally, I wanted to do SOMETHING musical to celebrate this time of the season, and it wasn't long before this song came to mind. Why? Because, when a lady sings it, it's gaaaay. Duh.

In all seriousness, this is a cover we’ve wanted to do for a long time, and June gave us the perfect excuse to finally record it. We sincerely hope that you enjoy our unplugged, relaxed, and queer-friendly version of Rick Springfield's hit. We also hope you have a very happy #PRIDE, no matter how you identify, who you love, or what you do.

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Hey folks! My duo ROUVAN put out a new cover for a cause!

This cover (of one of my favorite underrated Muse songs) is our contribution to Angry Papa Entertainment's charity compilation, 'Don't Skip This Track'. The compilation features original renditions of non hits from famous bands, and benefits No More Dysphoria (an organization that it very close to my heart). This track will be exclusively available for download, along with the rest of the compilation, on Angry Papa Entertainment's official bandcamp page. The album will be released on or around December 1st, 2018, so keep your eyes open for the link in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, we hope you enjoy streaming the track on Soundcloud for free. Thanks for listening, and please consider buying the album or making a donation of your own. Every little bit helps!

My buddy Evan and I--more famously known as Rouvan--have been working hard on an EP of songs from video games. It’s called Achievement Unplugged: Two Nerds’ Acoustic Tribute to Video Games. This particular track comes from one of my partner (and honorary third member) Eva’s favorite games of all time, Bastion. It’s one of seven songs that will be featured on the finished project, set to be released this month. Happy listening, and happy Easter :)

OMG IT’S HERE!

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: Two Nerds’ Acoustic Tribute To Video Games is available for download now on bandcamp. How much? Oh, ya know, FREE.

We (ROUVAN) sincerely hope you enjoy this passion project that's been over a year in the making. We had a blast putting it together (despite some rather frustrating setbacks), and we're so glad to FINALLY be able to share it in full for your listening pleasure. Enjoy, and definitely let us know what you think!

PS- tips are appreciated, but not expected <3

Oh hey! My pal Evan & I (more famously known as ROUVAN) were commissioned again by Austin of Shoddy Cast & The Game Theorists. Specifically, he asked us for this jazzy/bluesy re-imagining of Fall Out Boy’s ‘This Ain’t A Scene It’s An Arms Race’. 

My buddy Evan and I--famously known as Rouvan--have tossed our hat into the NPR Tiny Desk Contest ring! Check out this original tune, “Our Monsters”, performed from our very own studio desk! 

If you dig what you hear, why not give our FACEBOOK PAGE a like? Or check us out on SOUNDCLOUD. We’d sincerely appreciate it!

I don't know how often you all get to hear this but thank you for your sacrifice and everything you do/have done to keep the rest of us back home safe.

That's really it. No probing questions for Olo, no jabs at Rouvan, just honest humble thanks.
