Bio
What really sets us apart from other bands is our relentless use of odd times, signatures, and tempos as tools to create phrases that come together in very non-traditional ways, but yet remain quite memorable. In a Rift Magazine review, publisher Rich Horton qualifies this by saying "“For me, the band's most effective element is the sharp manipulation of melody, leaving brilliant little musical outbursts stuck in your head". I guess we're a little proud of that.
Otherwise, as kids we all listened to lots of folk, and 3 of us started music in school orchestra, so our influences ranged from Mendelssohn, to Nick Drake, to Leonard Cohen, then later on to Minutemen and everything Mike Watt has ever done, and Fugazi, and the Pixies, and of course course dreamers like Bedhead, Low, and Sonic Youth.
We always listened to a lot of stuff and just kept looking for new ways to put things together. We're still trying real hard, and loving the work.
