About Me

PART 1
First show was November 2004 at Beerland. Then there was a show February 2005 at Reds Scoot Inn with Ex-Models. The show with Ex-Models was outside and I was only wearing a bathing suit. My mom was there and I told her next time I would wear socks. Somehow the ukulele thing ended up with a band including a full horn section, a Dutchman, a country singer from Minnesota (who has since graduated and returned to Minnesota) and even a juggler for one show. There was this convoluted plot line that would change with every show and eventually collapsed under its own weight. We played a lot of covers. An all ukulele split 7" w/Dumb Haircuts was released.
A bit later on a CD called "So Real" got written, recorded, duplicated, etc. You can buy it here:
YO I WANT TO BUY THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW FOR $10There was a tour in May of 2008 with A Faulty Chromosome, and will be another with Reverse X-Rays in August. The road is calling my name.
