Season to Risk are a noise rock/alternative rock collective hailing from Kansas City, Missouri.
History
Season to Risk formed in late 1989 from the ashes of the Kansas City punk bands Nine Lives and Curious George. Although Season to Risk (or S2R as they are sometimes called) has had many line-up changes, two of its founding members have remained constant: Steve Tulipana (lead vocals, guitars and keyboards) and Duane Trower (lead guitar, keyboards, and vocals). As of 2007, the line-up also featured David Silver (drums), Billy Smith (bass), and Wade Williamson (rhythm guitar and keyboards).[1]
Season to Risk's most current release is The Shattering (2001). Other releases include Men Are Monkeys, Robots Win (1998) and In A Perfect World (1995), with a cover designed by Derek Hess. The self-titled debut Season To Risk (1992) features the underground hits "Snakes" and "Mine Eyes", with a cover designed by Frank Kozik. Both Hess and Kozik produced limited edition silkscreen posters of the covers.
The band performed in the warehouse party scene in the movie Strange Days.
Though the band members are now working on other projects, Season to Risk still plays occasional events. Tulipana and Smith are currently members of Roman Numerals.
