Devon e. Levins and John Castro were boyhood friends in Las Vegas. Their friendship, initially based on a mutual affection for carnation instant breakfast drink and KISS merchandise, would eventually take them to San Diego where they would learn the kinds of things you can only learn in rock band...things like drink tickets are really important some people and it's never worth fighting with your friends over a smelly t-shirt.

Fatefully, John's Aunt Eunice in Vegas knew Dionne Warwick pet ferret's stylist and was able to arrange a meeting. The Gan of Three soon huddled together in a Queens basement and beg making a neighbor rankling noise...
Three shows later they conspired with sonic wizard Wharton Tiers to record, mix, and master their self-titled CD in three days at his Fun City Studios...The result is an album that sounds like the band at it's live shows stripped down and yet full of angst and humor at the same time.

PRETENDO's second album simply entitled "][" was engineered in 2007 by the legendary Martin Bisi with artwork and lyrics contribut by the always subversive billboard artist Ron English. ][ i
