Artist description This is the result of a one-time recording venture, ranging from James Brown-style enthusiasm to Akira-style misanthropy. They were all written during a very difficult time, so a couple of songs leave me wondering now.

Music Style Rock

Musical Influences In the weeks leading up to the writing of the songs, I had been listening mostly to Neil Young, Jethro Tull, a portuguese new age-traditional fusion group called Madredeus, James Brown, Jimmy Buffet, the Cure, and miscellaneous disco.

Similar Artists Joy Division, Dagobah, Beck, Low, Legiao Urbana.

Artist History In 1992 we started playing together. We were freshmen in high school. It was the classic neighborhood band; seniors would laugh at us when we wanted to play at their shows, but we never ran out of neighborhood twelve-year-old disciples. We played on and off for about two years and it served as little more than a learning experience. In August '99, we met up in St. Paul for a few days to record and bumble around (Nice town, by the way).
