giddy-up, helicopter!

...and this castle, is it a place of evil?

About Me

we started playing music together sometime around late june/early july 2005. it was magical, like a carly simon performance on martha's vineyard.

we've realized that our music makes people cry.

giddy-up, helicopter! writes murder ballads, living room music with a front porch, LOUD, depressing quality. enjoy and grab a tissue (or a beer). Curtis Ross from The Tampa Tribune called our new full length record "One of the best albums - not just local albums - of 2007."Voted Best Local Band in Creative Loafing's "Best of the Bay" reader's poll 2006 and 2007
