About Me

5/09/07
We've recently recorded three songs we have written in the last couple months at the Loy Gymnasium at Capital University.One of these songs is '2000 Czech Crown' which is our newest audio post.
The other two are 'Sundown' and 'The Mirage'. They've both been mixed and mastered and sent to be pressed as we prepare for our first official release on Manup. The record is expected to be released by mid-June or sooner!
We hope you like the new material and keep checking back for show updates and the like.

The men in this band have been honing their craft for some years now, playing strange shows in underground dive bars and seedy clubs. Their absolute dedication to the world of rock music borders on an almost religious ecstasy. No amp, or guitar, or even a single pedal or mic escapes this band’s careful scrutiny - they have raided every pawn shop, music store, and guitar boutique for 300 miles, crafting a perfect arsenal of musical equipment. On stage they are a trained fighting unit, creating grand symphonies of love and squalor, which fall somewhere between the Birthday Party and Spiritualized.
