Biography
There are/were two different bands called Myna:
1) Myna from Austin, Texas: Myna was formed over the summer of 2002 in Commerce, Texas, where Singleton met bassist Blake Ball and drummer Jeremy Harrell at college. They recorded a demo early on of some folk-pop tunes that Singleton had written, but as the band's writing progressed, the music took on a darker, moodier, and harder edge. Influences from all over the map can be heard in their music, from maverick songwriter Chris Whitley, Cream, Zeppelin, Tom Petty and the Stones, to The Cure, The Cult, INXS and Jane's Addiction. The trio cashed in its chips and moved to Austin, Texas in 2003.
2) Myna from Danbury, CT: Myna was formed in September of 2004 in southern Connecticut. The band was a four-piece to begin with, and their first live shows were played acoustic. Over time their sound developed, combining dark, atmospheric textures with elements of psychedelia-rock and melodic female vocals. Members included Aaron Piccirillo of Apse, Rachel Browne, Austin Stawiarz, Matt Wick and Jay LaPierre. They disbanded in late 2005 as Apse moved forward with their musical career.
