It's rock. It's mixed emotions. It's three dudes (previously four) from the middle of nowhere doin' their thing. Rock music with charming character. Retro, psychedelic, groovy, organic.

Once upon a time, there was an artist named Spaceship. He was feeling quite despondent about making music. It seemed a superficial means to an end, and ultimately a waste of time. He decided at once to do something about it. He decided to do something for charity.

After much debate and research, the National Alliance to End Homelessness, or NAEH, was the final choice.
