If your needs involve a sound that resembles some sort of Spoon/Dinosaur Jr/Kinks/Iggy Pop/Tom Petty/Band o' Horses/Police mish mosh with a Motown-inspired groove at the core of it and vocals that sound like The Monkees trying to do disgruntled and disillusioned, then we're your guys.

As for us... We'll spare you the standard-bio histrionics. You know, the ones about how abuncha dudes clawed out of the primordial ooze in St. Nowheresville, USA suburbia and formed an epic Yalta-style alliance with thunderous verses and earth-shattering choruses. We're a new band, but we've been in others, and we're not hacks. I promise. We've seen the toes tap, the heads bop, heard the "Hey man, that was cool"s afterward, and made sure to say thank you. Our songs aren't complicated, but we actually dig in and play our instruments like we mean it.

Fun fact: Thylacines were a bizarre-looking canine from Australia and Tasmania that had died off completely by 1936, the last one kept in captivity until it died. Technically, it wasn't declared extinct until the 80's, and a supposed sighting is akin to seeing Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, et al.
