Artist History Formed in 1997, Matty Phillips, Mark Redlich, Jim Schweitzer, and Bo Johnson brought together their respective backgrounds in theater, improv, and professional wrestling to create a unique, breathtaking whole. They slugged it out in Milwaukee's rough and tumble pop scene until a fateful day when they found a hand clutching a sword in Lake Michigan. When they removed the sword from the hand (difficult due to rigor mortis), a god, spirit, or ghost spoke to them saying, "Record a CD..." and thus they followed the voice's instructions. The first CD caught fire locally as citizens took to burning shops where it was displayed. Figuring that people didn't want to *buy* their music, their second disc they gave away free. And then the time was right to make the perfect disc. A disc both simultaneously capable of being fun, slight, deep, and emotional. Which brings us up to date, right? Listen. Love. It's what the god/spirit/ghost always wanted...
