The bassist John Famiglietti, drummer BJ Miller, guitarist Jupiter Keyes, and guitarist Jake Duzsik make up the band known as HEALTH http://beyondrace.com/articles/features/2279-health .

Their first album The Smell, was recorded by DNT records and they were named Best Band in California by “Phoenix” magazine. Their music is unique yet raw talent, which has been described as borderline insane and artfully crated noise by many listeners. However, their career continues thriving, as they do what they love best…rocking out for their loyal fans! They also, have a self titled album as well as other projects they have worked on in the past in their own community.
Now, they have released a new album titled “Get color” that focuses on the music and no longer qualifies them as noisemakers with the music critics http://www.redefinemag.com/music/interviews_music_2.php?artist=HEALTH&id=1343. They also have a fan following on social networks like Facebook and Myspace, as well as an internet show called HEALTHvision. Plus, they have created their own designer clothing, which can be found on their website.
