The Stone Foxes
The Stone Foxes is an American rock and roll band based in San Francisco, California, United States. History The Stone Foxes originated in the foothills of California's Central Valley where founding members Aaron Mort and brothers Spence Koehler (guitar) and Shannon Koehler (drums, vocals) grew up. After high school, they went to college at San Francisco State University. A couple of years later, after living with the three founding members and discovering their similar musical tastes, Avi Vinocur (guitar, bass) joined the band. Formed in late 2005, The Stone Foxes spent their first few years together working on balancing out their musical style. The end product (for now) is a style infused with country, rock, blues, and a touch of San Francisco. The group's songs are full of classic blues structures and shout-along moments. In April 2011, keyboardist Elliott Peltzman joined the band. Later that year, they opened for Cage The Elephant and Grammy winners The Black Keys at Mesa ...

White Collar Brawlers
White is the lightest color and is achromatic (having no hue). It is the color of objects such as snow, chalk, and milk, and is the opposite of black. White objects fully reflect and scatter all the visible wavelengths of light. White on television and computer screens is created by a mixture of red, blue, and green light. The color white can be given with white pigments, especially titanium dioxide. In ancient Egypt and ancient Rome, priestesses wore white as a symbol of purity, and Romans wore white togas as symbols of citizenship. In the Middle Ages and Renaissance a white unicorn symbolized chastity, and a white lamb sacrifice and purity. It was the royal color of the kings of France, and of the monarchist movement that opposed the Bolsheviks during the Russian Civil War (1917–1922). Greek and Roman temples were faced with white marble, and beginning in the 18th century, with the advent of neoclassical architecture, white became the most common color of new churche ...
