Mi Ami

About Me

we were born in august of 2006 as a duo of drums/guitar/junk/electronics/vocals reaching towards the distant lights of daniel wang, african disco and gamelan. it came out very different than we expected, as it should be with all things. in august of 2007, jacob joined us and the holy trinity was completed. it is what it is unless it's something else. mi ami lives.
