ABSINTECA was founded by guitarist Ray Voltte in the year 2019. The original members were Greg Haledjian and bassist ricky grim. Eventually ricky and ray jammed with Tuna aka steve. The most predominate members were drummer the tuna and bassist Mr mingo. Absinteca consists of a number of classic rock cover songs like there she goes, let the good times roll, hey hey my my; in addition instrumentals and original songs are played. All of the published recordings from the band the years 2020-2022 were recorded in rays apartment, minus the 1971 track one night stand. We got zero complaints about the noise in fact we received compliments. On a number of occasions steve and eric the drummer & bassist would show up to the apartment and crash/sleep over in order to jam pack recording time into a relatively short period of time. The result was that the band got together on about six occasions and recorded apx 6hours of material. Most of the music was distributed to itunes and spotify via soundcloud repost, a music distribution company for a premium of about $30/yr.
A lot of the bands exposure came from tel aviv Israel (circa jan 2021 – via spotify for artists). More recently Absinteca has been getting plays from Israel, in addition to seattle US, Erie PA, NYC, providence RI, and phoenix AZ. (apple music artists). The band has apx 6hours and 10minutes of recordings available on major streaming platforms like iheart apple amazon and spotify (as of Feb 2022)
