Artist History Starting out as a 2 man show, the band went through a whirlwind of changes before becoming the group it is today. From violinists' to people with big, weird drums, the band was happy to finally fall into a set form in July of 1997. UPDATE! There have 2 changes since then also. Rusty is no longer with the band and the great Jose Ayerve of the band 'Spouse' is our latest welcome addition.

Press Reviews "At once stark and luxuriant, the music never overwhelms with angst but instead works a more subtle seduction; it's music for tender ears and tired hearts. A sadcore afficianado's dream come true." Valley Advocate Weekly "...it shows that honest self expression and artfully composed music are alive and well..." Music Revue monthly
