After the regional and local success and the brutal, unfathomably violent breakups of The Gamera Crowns, The Breakdown, The Apocalyptics, and (The)Red Switch, singer, guitarist, and songwriter Joshua Levine decided to go it alone. HAIRSPRAYFIREANDGIRLS is the name of his latest endeavor. He records the songs he writes, and at that point is where the plot thickens: Luck came his way, and now the project is a group, with the kit killer Ernie Gardner on drums, Justin Lillie, the bassman who will rip off your fucking face, and the enigmatic guitar prodigy Noah Gabbard.

The Anakim are of the same Titanic race as the Rephaim, Nefilim, Gibborim, Zamzummim, and Emim. The name is explained in the Midrash as indicating that they wore "neck-chains heaped upon neck-chains," or, as if from the verb "to press," "force," that they seized the solar disk and cried, "Send us rain," or that "they squeezed their heads into the sun". Of the three sons of Anak who filled the spies with awe and fear by their gigantic stature, Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai , the first is represented in Num. R. xvi. and Tan., Shelaḥ, 7, ed. Buber, 11, as challenging passers-by, saying: "Whose brother will fight with me?"; the second stood there stolid as a block of marble , and the third made deep furrows in the soil with every step. And when the spies saw these men towering up to the sky and looking as if piercing the sun, they were afraid and said: "We are not able to go up against these people, for they are stronger than He ]; that is, stronger than even the Lord Himself!"

Beau had some free time. He wrote some riffs. Corey got invited over to play guitar over top of the riffs. After they had five songs, they had Garth come by and knock Beau's light off the ceiling with his bass. After the great freeze of February, 2011, John started playing drums with all three. Now there are more songs and lots of beer cans with no beer in them.

"The fortunate result of three outstanding musicians all without a band at the same time, Garboski found themselves performing well-attended and well-received shows from the band's inception. Without even a demo track to toss onto MySpace for most of a year (though there's now three great songs), Garboski quickly developed a reputation, among fellow musicians especially, as one of Tucson's best live bands. All veterans of numerous Tucson bands (Beau Bowen: Maintenance, Lloyd Dobler; Garth Bryson: Ladies and Gentlemen, Maintenance; Josh Skibar: Is To Feel, Fun With Dirt, The Bled) they fell together naturally, creating an energetic sound that gives each instrument equal footing. The trio - Bowen on guitar, Bryson on bass and Skibar on drums - plays a bombastic rock music, full of starts and stops, soaring melodies and rapturous, frenzied instrumenal passages. Garboski sometimes recalls the Seattle explosion circa 1991, but leans more post-rock than punk." --Catfish Vegas
