    Artist description
    Chicago-based quartet fronted by two distinctly different singer-songwriters: one with indie-pop influences, the other more rooted in American grassroots iconoclasm. Believes their songs should stand up at solo acoustic performances as well as in more traditional electric gig circumstances. All members believe a sense of humor is essential to the band's success; also unpredicability.
    Music Style
    song-centric, hard-edged pop rock
    Musical Influences
    Posies, XTC, dB's, Only Ones, Kinks, etc.
