Our Name

Hi Everyone!

We're signing on for the first time as we begin our journey out of the Fisher's basement and into public. (Jack, you're great, but you're a cat and we're ready for human fans. Love ya big guy.)

We are currently a band with more names than albums, but we're ok with that. You can't rush the creative process. We started out as Penchant for Red for four reasons
1. We like red.
2. Jon used it in a sentence once, thought he sounded brilliant, and wanted as many reminders of that moment as possible.
3. The Philadelphia Phillies are red and, well, they are and we love them.
4. I have red streaks in my hair which are just plain awesome.

Recently, however, we've been flirting with CPS (Cataclysmic Paradigm Shift) for two reasons.
1. Penchant for Red is too easily abbreviated to PFR which is already a band. A really famous one. (Thanks Jonathan for reminding us, you can stop now. We get it.)
2. See reason #2 for Penchant for Red (except it wasn't even his phrase this time - he stole it from a guy in sales. I don't even think he knows what it means.)

Personally, I always preferred Recovering Cynic (my vote from the beginning) for three reasons.
1. I'm a cynic.
2. Jon's a cynic.
3. Cara's a cynic.
(Although we're all still very active cynics, so the recovering part was only for commercial appeal.)

Anyway, our musical style is dark, piano-based rock with lots of angst. Our practice style is casual, self-depricating humor with lots of "What was that? Can we try that again? Maybe less polka this time?" Our personal style is rock star chic with a touch of business casual depending on the time of day.

As of today we have 16 friends on Facebook and one true fan who actually wants an album (we love you Vida! It's coming baby!) Come along for the ride if you want as we fight tooth and nail for at least 20 friends. Now's your chance to hop in the passanger seat while it's still vacant on our ride to the top (of the stairs of the Fishers' basement).
