Biography
Formed in the shadows of a Midwestern university in the mid nineties, the Nabokov Project has no set membership or contributors. Its most recent incarnation has included the membership of Dave Pollock (spoken-word vocals), Ted Leslie (percussion), Thea Morton (cello, guitar, and keys), and M. W. Gargo (vocals, guitar, computer, and keys). Many of the songs on/in these pages were part of this collaboration (even though they were all written by M. W. Gargo). Ted Leslie, however, after the start of this collaboration developed brain cancer and has since died. His illness and death put this version of the band on hold permanently. With the graduation of M. W. Gargo, it has moved East and, as Finnegan, begins again in Pittsburgh, Pa. Our demo effort, "Effete Coquette," was dreamed and recorded over the past three years in the living room and closet of an upstairs apartment in Eau Claire, WI and in a one room hole in the north part of the Oakland neighborhood in Pittsburgh, PA. M. W. Gargo is currently working on material for an eight song EP "This is not a CD," which covers a softer and more acoustic side of the project heavy in alt-folk influences.
