Background
editHeartsong moved to Boston, after which he would meet Spider One and Allan Pahanish while working at Tower Records.[12] They went on to found Powerman 5000 in 1990, collaborating for over a decade and releasing the platinum album Tonight the Stars Revolt!.[13] Following the cancellation of Anyone for Doomsday?, Heartsong left Powerman 5000 as well as Pahanish.[14] He then joined The Flying Tigers, crediting the events of September 11, 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.[15]
From there, Heartsong would play in L.A. with Ruby Friedman Orchestra briefly before joining JBLZE in 2011.[16] They played in such venues as Madison Square Garden and the LA Forum in 2019.[17][18]
