Denver’s Westword has described us as "the sound of an alternate universe where hipster culture spontaneously generated in the Appalachians, complete with irony and punk rock roots intact, but lacking all other indie touchstones." Suzanne and Curt have made music together for a long time. Franco once had a band called Sexual Jihad. Olivia played bass for another band called Shame Shame (that previously was known as Hello Operator?, and before that they were called Broadcast). Cyrus just plain kicks asses and picks up chicks and rocks. Joe is a pretty mysterious fellow, even to the rest of us. We have a theory, though, that he falls from the heavens in the form of rain water onto a remote section of Yellowstone National Park and then collects into his human form, complete with the stylish clothing of the day, hours before shows and practices. He probably carves a Yellowstone tree down into a new banjo and mandolin for every performance. Of course, then he plants another tree in the first tree’s stead and weeps a single tear that develops the newly planted tree into a robust and healthy, full-sized adult pine within seconds.
