YAY FOR RECORDS!!!
We are a multi-tasking, DIY, folk punk-grass trio that’s been fitting itself into nonsensical categories since 1982. We've played with artists like Kimya Dawson, Bitch and the Exciting Conclusion, Tilly & the Wall, Old time Relijun and The Bower Birds at lots of rad venues including CBGB’s in New York and SXSW in Austin.
Yay ongoing tour!!!!
Woot!

Some stuff some people sometimes say:
Jo-Ann Greene of AllMusic.com gives them 4.5 stars,
and says “Lo-fi the Dickens may well be, but name an
instrument from banjo to piano, trombone to bass, and
these Dickens can play it. . . .Like precocious kids, they’ll shoot out a lyric
that just makes your jaw drop. Toss in poppy melodies,
some sing-along choruses, and a bucket-load of fun, and
this duo will indeed have you yelling for more.â€
Left of the Dial writes that “All in all, there’s both an
under-produced, rusty knife, kick-the-can style that is
infectious here. There is also an interesting tension be-
tween word sly, savvy approaches and folkloric musical
permutations that may be a bit off-putting to some, like
college kids visiting the tilted barn of old timey mu-
sic and filling grandpa’s pants with post-modern jive.â€
Carlos Anaconda of Nonalignment Pact: "I am quite sure they could pull out tunes out of a stone."
The Knowbodies writes “They touch youin a special way that makes you feel like you are witnessing a moment that defines the spirit of creation and connectivity."
Called “Discombobulated Pixie Rock†by GAL Magazine’s Dustin Talley, he writes “It is petite but not
fragile, thin but dense, and most of all imperfect, a quality that the band holds in high esteem, and judg-
ing from their music, it is. Employing such “instruments†as banjo, tuba, skateboards and a saw, these
women make fun music that makes ya want to grab your ipod and go skipping in the rain...â€
YAY!
