Listen to Arkay:
These Routines
Beat Me Up

Arkay was as such:
   Richard Kentopp of and Cari Palazzolo (left) played guitar in a band called Flashlight Fiction.  They broke up, but then Cari and Richard started the aforementioned band, Arkay.  Also onboard in the new project is Cari's sister Christa (right).  They're twins.  How cute.  Said twin, Christa, played key boards.  And the whole lot of em' sang / whispered.  A Dave filled the outfit out by playing bass.  Namely Dave Lankford or Dave Rupert. 
   The music has much of the same beautiful guitar-edness of Flashlight Fiction, but added are lyrics, lush bass, and keyboards, and synthetic experimental drum-edness.  The nine song demo was sold at their shows, and spread like wildfire on the CD burners of Austin, Tx.  You still may be able to find one, if you're lucky.  They broke up at the beginning of 2003. 

Many people have a copy of Arkay's nine song demo, and they have asked about the track titles.  They are as such:
