"These guys are the most entertaining bunch of storytellers you'll probably ever run into" - Illinois Entertainer
"A bit jazzy at times while combining sounds previously heard from Phish and Primus, Painscale...proves that, if nothing else, these guys are really creative songwriters"

Bio
"These guys are the most entertaining bunch of storytellers you'll probably ever run into"
- Illinois Entertainer
Originally formed in June 1998, the group began touring the Midwest as an acoustic duo (guitar and stand-up bass) and produced "AREA," an eclectic 14-song CD. Soon after, the group expanded into a quartet, adding jazz and fusion drummer Junichiro Shimamura to bassist Matt Wiley and guitarist, singer Dustin Grove. In 2001, the group produced the 10-song CD "Mr. Composinator." In 2002, they produced the 14-song CD "Deformed Frog.", and in 2004 they produced the 16-song CD "Painless". In August 2004, they completed a ten-date tour of the United States and are currently gearing up for their fourth tour of Japan beginning in June 2006.
