Biography

San Francisco, United States (1996 – 2009)

SubArachnoid Space was a psychedelic rock band founded in San Francisco, California in 1996. The band since relocated to Portland, Oregon. The last line up included:

Melynda Jackson - guitar
Danial Barone - bass
Danial Ozborne - guitar
Chuck Watkins - drums

The term “sub-arachnoid space” is a medical term that refers to a region in the brain. The name was chosen because it looked and sounded intriguing—not for any clinical medical reason.

The line up of the group changed over time but the approach, which one former member termed, “drone”, never changed. The music had something in common with the “drone” of East Indian music (which refers to the chordal structure), so perhaps that is what was meant, as the music is inventive, creative, and ever-changing—certainly not droning, as is sometimes used to describe boring personalities, sounds, and conversations.

The band disbanded following their 2009 release “Eight Bells” hinting at the possibility of new constellations to emerge in the foreseeable future.

    Anyone who miss this (awesome) band should give a try to Aluk Todolo, especially to their 2012 album "Occult Rock".

    Haha, nah, it's a bit of an exaggeration on my part also. But only a bit ;P For what I was in the mood for at the time, though, it was.

    storytellingman: That's a bit of an exaggeration for me, but "These Things Take Time" is definitely their personal best and probably one of the most talented psychedelic albums out there. Totally underrated.
