about

In July of 2022, Daniel Bartels learned that he had stage-4 colon cancer. Daniel told the band the news and when asked what he wanted to do, he replied, "I think I have a song or two left in me."

The band began rehearsals for a recording and performed the song "Stand in the Sun" as part of their final live set on July 22, 2023 at the Dean*A*Palooza memorial for Dean Rasmussen.

Daniel began hospice the day before the performance and passed away on September 6, 2023.

"Stand in the Sun" is a clarion call to seize the day.

***all proceeds are forwarded to Daniel's family***

Stand in the sun

I found the one I love

Words start here go round and round
And wander off the other side

Thoughts and deeds and dusty reels of youth
Lie scattered in the sun

I found the one I love

Finite frames of rendered dreams
Dwindling archetypal schemes

Pixel games and time machines
Shattered in the wind

Stand in the sun how does it feel?
How did it feel when you were young.
Shout at the sun how does it feel
How did it feel when you were young

about

the Technical Jed Richmond, Virginia

The Technical Jed was a rock band from Richmond, Virginia. They started when Daniel Bartels and David Bush asked Clancy Fraher and Steve Brooking to join them. Fraher taught Bartels some open tunings on his new telecaster, and Daniel began creating his own musical vocabulary that would later set this band apart from the typical 2-guitar bands of the day. ... more
