Saturday, July 12th, 2008 What's up with The WHY Band... The WHY band is an experimental collaboration. The players include Dwayne Raper drums/vocals, Dustin Wayne on lead guitar, Aaron Johnson on bass/vocals, and myself on rhythm guitar/vocals. Currently, we perform 'rocked out' versions of some my originals and quite a few covers. Keep an ear out and we'll see where this adventure leads :)
Curious? Well, a good friend caught us on her little digital camera and made some videos for us to share. Pretty rough... but we all appreciate the effort.
A few are posted here, more can be found at my website, and even more can be found at http://myspace.com/seankorakas . The band also has a myspace page http://myspace.com/thewhybandfl - lots of pics and our gigs are posted there.

I've been busy writing more new songs. I'll be testing them out when I perform live so watch for upcoming gigs.
