Told But Not Listening is a solo project of Louden Kliehr. The songs for this project are separate from what is done with REFACTION.
The idea is to be a guerilla street performer. Playing live wherever is possible, for free.
At this time the project uses 22 original and 5 covers (from Parker, Garbage, The Smithereens, Bob Marley, Little Steven Van Zandt, The Clash) with at least
a dozen more near completion. Was originally in a mostly garage band, Short Ropes, between 1982-1984 (Voice, piano, harmonica, co-creator)
