About Me

XXX New album out now on Non-Prophet Records XXX

The Dragline Bros. formed in 1999

The band was formerly known as the Redtails and consisted of brothers Seth and Bram Riddlebarger (the Wailin' Elroys), and Andrew Weiland (the Snails/ Dirty Johnny and the Makebelieves).

The lineup has changed in the past couple of years from a trio to a four piece. Jesse Dillon (Campus Stranglers / The Usual) has joined on Tenor saxophone and second guitar. Chris McKee (the In-Sect/ Campus Stranglers) replaced Bram Riddlebarger on drums. Curtis Frey (of We March) will be seen sometimes behind the drum kit, or playing guitar/keys for us. Jesse ran away to a Swedish nudist colony. He has currently been replaced by Matt Pressutti (who is also a member of the Makebelieves, the Snails, and Beard of the See) The Dragline Brothers are currently drinking heavily and recording on Eight track tape at home or any where that will tolerate them.
