owltian mia formed in virginia beach/norfolk after the break up of "words a game" circa 1995. Inspired by the underground scene before the term emo was coined, they released a double 7" on TREE RECORDS, called "the greatest games ever played". Of course at such a young age you could either blow up and get signed by a larger indie label or disband and go to college. Bobby and Brock both went out of state to pursue art schooling, and the rest of the guys did college in norfolk and started a band called "the candyland carcrash". Bobby and Brock would return for the holidays and summers to play shows and record. There were 5 recordings:[1]=five song demo that went straight to cassette tape. performed by Brock, Bobby, Adam, Jayson, and Indy.[2]="tggep" double 7" recorded at Wintersound. performed by Brock, Bobby, Adam, Jayson, and Danny.[3]="4 track basement recording" perfomed by Brock, Bobby, Adam, Scott, & Danny[4]=3 song ep recorded at b-digital, never mixed. performed by the latter + celloist Dominique. [5]=5 song interpretation of the basement tracks. recorded at Claygarden Studios. performed by Bobby, Adam, Brock(pan's pipes), and Brad. Always having problems with the line up, by the time they recorded the "4-track basement recording" they were at the end of the owltian mia legacy. There is also a great song recorded by Bobby and Adam called "lets play" which is definitely a true representation of the final days. CHECK OUT THE BAND 1888 TO HEAR WHAT THE DRUMMER [BOBBY] AND THE FORMER DRUMMER OF CANDYLAND CARCRASH HAVE BEEN UP TO.
