About Me

Signal's side of the split is a cover of STNNNG's "Dubbed Warehousing". STNNNG's side of the split is a cover of Signal's "Victory Over The Sun".

-Our first release, The Means/STNNNG split 7", originally released by Nodak Records , is now also being distributed by Modern Radio.

-We will be spending most of 2008 writing and recording material for our third full-length album. Previous plans to tour in Europe are indefinitely postponed.

Standard "bio" fare:

STNNNG is a 5-piece band from Minneapolis, MN. We have played a gazillion shows with a bajillion terrific bands, both heroes & friends. In addition to the above-mentioned split singles, we have released two albums on the Modern Radio Record Label: Dignified Sissy in 2005, and Fake Fake in 2006. We are currently at work on a third album.

People have described our sound in a variety of ways. That variety can be found here . The stock reply for relatives or co-workers who ask what kind of music we play is "rock and roll". The songs here on our page will assist you in finding a more personal categorization, if you so desire.

We have toured areas of the U.S., and plan to tour more. Perhaps we will tour in your hometown. In 2008, we will have significantly less presence in our own hometown, so if you wish to see us, please consider attending one or more of our 4 local shows in November 2007. The list of these shows is available on this page, and also on our website .

In a recent scientific poll, STNNNG has both pleased and disappointed. Start choosing sides.
