It's only appropriate that an industry founded in carports should breed geeks with garage bands. Our first featured Valley band is Five Easy Pieces, a rock group started by the techie Allen Bush. By day, he's the director of marketing and business development for Internet startup Sharpcast. By night, he rocks out. Sez Allen:

I started a band a few months ago (I play guitar/sing/write the band's originals) with an interesting mix of SV types...the chief software architect for Palm on keyboards, BD and Marketing guys from Juniper and Vormetric on Guitar and Bass, and a mortgage banker for Alain Pinel's Los Gatos branch on the drums.

The band plays in Sunnyvale on Friday, at the Quarter Note.
