Background

Heartsong moved to Boston to study at Berklee, after which he would meet Spider One and Allan Pahanish while working at Tower Records. [13] They went on to found Powerman 5000 in 1990, collaborating for over a decade and releasing the platinum album Tonight the Stars Revolt!. [14] Following the cancellation of Anyone for Doomsday?, Heartsong left Powerman 5000 as well as Pahanish. [15] He then joined The Flying Tigers, crediting the events of September 11th, 2001 as a motivator for desiring a new, "more melodic" sound. The Flying Tigers toured with Trik Turner and supporting their eponymous record produced by Brendan O'Brien. [16]

From there, Heartsong would play in L.A. with Ruby Friedman Orchestra briefly before joining JBLZE in 2011. [17] They played in such venues as Madison Square Garden and the LA Forum in 2019. [18] [19]
