Inspired by a university brochure instructing college girls how to politely preserve their honor, Coach Said Not To came together in 2002 and have built a substantial fan base in Minneapolis / St. Paul and beyond.
CSNT has been featured on MPR's The Current, on The Local Show with Chris Roberts as well as Vh1's Best Week Ever blog.
The release of two previous EPs (self-titled and P.E.E.P.) and a full-length album Mini Series , garnered national and international attention with their music featured on the Animal Planet's series Horsepower: The Road to Maclay, as well as the BBC Radio Network.
CSNT showcased at SxSW 2006 in Austin, TX.
Inspired by influential people, day jobs, and love (or a lack thereof), Coach Said Not To's story-songs bring a sense of humor to rock riffs and heart-felt lullabies alike.
Outside CSNT, Eva dances professionally and bakes amazing cakes, Linnea acts, writes and works odd jobs, Lee builds bridges and watches film noir, Annika catalogues used books, and studies urban planning and art history.
Coach... continues to write, record, search for a manager both savvy and kind, and look for opportunities to travel and play.
