Chris Couch
Chris Couch, or Special Guest, has been playing music since he was in
fifth grade. Mediocre attempts at trumpet and trombone and a good run
at drums (mainly with the short lived Eastern Oregon ska band Slash
and Burn) eventually led to Chris picking up the guitar while in
college at Pacific University. With influences from classic rock to
reggae and hip to punk, his lyrics and message speak of hope, love,
and a passion for living.
Originally from the Eastern side of Oregon and after a few relocations
across the country, Chris now calls Portland his home.

Philip Hunker
Philip is a native Oregonian and is excited to get involved with the Portland scene. His musical background is unlike the other members because OUTPOST is Philip's first music project (except for some piano lessons for less than a year while in middle school).
Philip started writing music shortly after moving back west from graduate school on Long Island. He studied speech communication and performance and focused his research on the rhetorical elements of music: the performative and the poetic.
After researching and writing about other peoples music he decided that only way to truly analyze the world we live in is by making art that we believe in. Philip joined OUTPOST shortly after it formed in the winter of 2006 at the spurring of Chris and Brian and has focused on making music ever since.

tmpILL
i have been on a long musical journey. an A to B to C path of
misdirection, infinite wisdom, dead-ends, constant construction,
powerful knowledge, and many red lights is my map through the world of
sound manipulation. i've learned now that i no longer make music...i
tap into the underlying stream of sound, change it and label it music.
the valve i found into this music pipe came in the form of the band of
brothers outPost. i was born into the name brian: courage. tmpILL is
my moniker...rather it is who i strive to be. the idea of human i
strive to be. a label for the ill-tempered temporary temple of earth
that is my form. with my crumble of dust and water i grasp a wireless
mic in one hand; the energy harnessed in the sound of outPost in the
other and grip tight for the rollercoaster ride. respect and peace

has experienced playing with great musicians from the East Coast to
the West Coast. Opening for many national acts has given him a
perspective of where his passion for music could take him. Tyler plays
