About Me

New recordings take time...

The Click Five beat us for the 2007 Boston Music Awards "Best Pop Act" category. Imagine the implications if we won. Close call.

We’re an indie band. That means we can do whatever we want without anyone paying us to do it.

Thom is from Oregon. Dave is from Indiana. Andy is from New Hampshire. Kevin is from Texas. Right now we all live in Boston.
