The Wax Models

Pop pop, pop music (talk about).

About Me

the Wax Models are relatively obscure, and would like to keep it that way. However, they get together once every few months years to drink beers practice, and are currently still done recording a long-overdue album of now-outdated songs about double- and triple-ex girlfriends. It turned out really good, and you will never hear it unless you happen to be sleeping with one of the band's members. Check out Jen, Zoinks! , or Big In Japan for some 'side projects.'

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 8/10/2004
Band Website: You are looking at it, champ.
Band Members: Dan plays electric piano, sings, and writes songs about girls. Jen (being one herself) plays electric bass, sings, and used to be embarrassed by said songs, but now makes even me blush sometimes. Jason plays non-electric drums, thankfully. We feel that's more than adequate. Oh, and Zac plays electric guitar and sings now, too.
Influences: I dunno. XTC? The Knack? The Jam? Elvis Costello? Boomtown Rats? Wings? Teenage Fanclub? The New Pornographers? Quasl? In any case, it's a very narrow thread of music running from about the mid-'60s to the late '90s. You know, the kind of stuff that, if you write it now, is very unloved. If by "influenced by" you mean "used to be in", then we can count Crushstory (several times over), the Atomiks, and Big in Japan. We'll ignore the rest of Zac's bands; go do your own research if you're so damn nosey.
Sounds Like: ... the members of Belle and Sebastian having sex (only moderately loud, 'cause roommates are sleeping) while listening to the White album. Thanks, Jen! Or, like, if the members of Crushstory shuffled around a bit and resumed playing the same type of ironically-dubbed 'pop' music.
Record Label: Folding as we speak.
Type of Label: Indie

An obligatory note about rough mixes.

I thought I was posting them to relative obscurity, but it looks like people are downloading them. Which is fine; just remember, I post these files at two in the morning after getting home from reco...
