Viands is a spontaneous collaboration between two auteurs of Detroit's underground music scene. Joel Peterson and Dave Shettler met in the early aughts while Peterson was actively carving a name for himself presenting underground and new sounds (his and others) to Detroit audiences with his Bohemian National Home venue and Shettler was back boning and warping various rock and R&B acts across Detroit and the western world. Viands began as a sound check for a visiting jazz pianist borrowing Shettler's Moog sitting atop the piano in Peterson's current venue, Trinosophes.
