Biography

How the Armchair Generals Came Together… 

A: In times of uncertainty, necessity demands Solutions.  –The date was 2004…
“War President” George W. Bush was into his second year of a devastatingly bloody invasion of Iraq.  70,000 refugees were dead or dying in Sudan's Darfur region from war and disease. A huge tsunami in the Indian Ocean took the lives of over 100,000 human beings…Four years later; America becomes bogged down in two “hot” wars, while the U.S. financial system collapses: Obviously, we all are living in uncertain times of both challenge & regeneration. 

As musicians, Oyane, Bebo & Osoosi were removed from most of the direct affects of terrible war and financial ruin; however the spirit of the times began reaching out to us.  No matter how we busied ourselves in our own separate musical enterprises, a common feeling gripped us.  It wasn’t long before our conversations revealed the following collective observation:  Why hasn’t a renewed, 1960’s-like revolution emerged to challenge and inspire people living NOW, in this time?    
Our search for artistic revolution became a catalyst for musical inspiration….an inspiration to create the Armchair Generals. 
 
Why “Armchair Generals”?
