about

Pro Audio is a band full of surprises. Following in the footsteps of Grandaddy and They Might Be Giants, Fish (guitar/keyboards/vox) along with band co-founder John (bass guitar/vox), Bri (oboe/keys/vox), and Paul (drums) craft an ambitious brand of indie rock that is both clever and catchy.

"Make the Happiness Stop" is a tour de force, quirky prog-rock epic. Inspiration came in many forms; from a vintage Univox Mini-Korg synthesizer to Kurt Vonnegut’s literary masterpiece, Slaughter-House Five. It has all these little interconnected stories and bits
that make for a really rewarding listening experience. Hints of The Flaming Lips, Ben Folds Five, and fellow nerd-rockers Weezer can be found peppered throughout the songs on MTHS.

Killer robots, vampire ex-boyfriends, suicidal magicians, feline reincarnation and more are wrapped up in this sunny sonic adventure that guarantees to get lodged in your brain.
