Provision (musical group)

Provision was an electronic MusicAL group based in Houston, Texas and led by founding member Breye Kiser (aka Breye 7x). Provision's music is often described as "electronic dance music with an edge" by its members. The group's sound can be compared to such electronic bands as Red Flag, Information Society, and Anything Box.

In September 2007, the members of Provision amicably disbanded, as the individual members wanted to explore other musical endeavors. Soon afterward, Breye and Jen Foxx formed an industrial music project called T3I (The Third International).
