Hello!

My name is Nick Valenz, and I sing for Continuous Audio Transmission. The band consists of Wayde Cooper, Jeff Smoots and yours truly.

Attention! We are working on our web site, and it should be done very soon!!!

The three of us used to write, record and perform around Seattle under the name Axis, with two other musicians, Jim Beseda and Dave Beardsley. We reunited almost 20 years later, in order to recreate and update a recording project we were working on in 1992, and add some new songs as well. That's where we are now. We're in the middle of recording our debut CD, and before the entire project is finished, we plan on releasing a single to YouTube in early 2012.

In the meantime, here are a couple of fun videos of us waaaaaaay back when, uploaded by Jeff:
