Probably not many of you remember Neo-Psuedo and the Invisible Band - an original music phenom here in State College Pa back in the day, with Mike Biddison as lead vocals and guitarist and Dave Biddison on percussion and vocals, Kevin Slick on base, often with Beth Williams and a flow of other local music legends playing and singing along. Neo-Psuedo was famous for doing benefits and wild venues that other bands couldn't arrange, due to the groups social wizardry. Crazy wild times. The neo-pseudo tunes are still some of the best originals to come out of state college, in my completly biased opinion.
Well, the Biddison brothers have formed a new band, the Llama Dalis...
And put out a new album, Silly Beast
I'm gonna try to get a tune to post.
Lets see, how would I describe it - it's a mix of jam band, rockin folk band, with splashes of Dave Matthews and the Talking Heads - and somethin else, can't quite put my finger on it. I'm only on my first serious listen thru tho - i'll figure it out.

Beth Williams
I loved solo Beth Williams, still listen to her albums regularly. Do you know what happened to her? I hope she hasn't stopped songwriting.
She's still singin' and playin'
Yeah, lol, Beth was a character! She's still singing and playing, they've mentioned her a fair amount on the Llama Dalis facebook group and in private emails. She has posted there herself a few times, recently too.
But, I'm not quite sure where she is playing - I got the impression she was back doing some east coast work not all that long ago.
Lol and she calls herself Bet Williams now. Whoa - just checked her profile - says she lives in Berlin Germany now!
Below is the Llama Dalis facebook link - you can see and follow one of her personal links off that.

Man those were crazy good old days!
You know who I miss? Tonya Browne.
I threw together a quick website for the band
I'm just reposting the link to the bands website - I got involved a bit in helping them move sites, and in the process moved them to a wordpress based site - actually, technically, a hybrid, using wordpress to deliver iframes containing the old sites pages.
