The bio:
When Robin Hall settled in Los Angeles (after setting sail round the world from New Zealand), he had an insatiable urge to start a rock band. “It's just cos' rockin' out is part of my genetic make up...I need it.”
Hall had his first attempt at a band, but things didn't quite fit...and then, in due course and with some patience it solidified and gained a foundation with the Strecker bros: Brandon on guitar and Devin on drums. The trio was joined by special guest Jasten King on bass as they recorded their debut EP in January, 2009.
Collectively known as Invisible Material, Hall and Co. make music that is fun, fun and melodic. From the manic pop-punk of “Gonna Get Drunk & Tell Her That I Like Her” and “More of a Man Than Me” to the jangly, retro feel of “The Folded Page,” they keep it upbeat and danceable.
“I'm attractive so I don't need to be deep and complex to compensate for a lack of anything...I just wanna do what resonates with me and create something that gets peeps toes and feet tapping,” Hall said.
The name Invisible Material was an evolution of the name Dark Matter, that had already been taken. Both were lifted from the presentation at LA’s Griffith Observatory Planetarium...of which Hall has attended no less then 8 times. “It's kinda my church service” Hall said.
And a bunch of pictures robin took the other night at the recording session:
