About Me

Short Attention, the world's least recognizable supergroup, features current and former members of The Ergs, The Unlovables, Dirt Bike Annie, The Steinways and The Slaughterhouse Four. Formed in the '00's by The Tattle Tales' frontman Christian Stefos (who left the band to become an astronaut), the band sings 15 second songs about life, love, Aaron Cometbus novels and the menstrual cycle.
In 2006, the band recorded its first 7" for Cold Feet Records with legendary homeowner Chris Pierce at his very own Technical Ecstacy Studios in Milltown, New Jersey. It contains roughly 4,000 songs, and lead vocals are split between the five members.
"Clever Maddening Annoying" 7" available from Cold Feet Records , Interpunk , Little Type , Insubordination Records , Firestarter Records , Flightplan Records , and No Brakes in the United States.Available from Dream On Records , RecordShop Base , Hyper Enough Records and Senseless Records in Japan.Available digitally from iTunes and Napster .
