A Well Dressed Man (looking for a bassist!)

About Me

In 2003, five fresh-faced Iowa fellows, caught in the throes of teenaged surburban boredom, decided to shatter the monotony with pounding rhythms, screeching guitars, and roaring vocals. After more member-swapping than a Swedish sex-change convention, A Well Dressed Man explodes from the closet, whipping out their proudest work to date: "What A Delicious Disaster." Uncannily produced by mid-west pop-rock dynamo Matthew Clay , the young band's first full-length album represents not only a turning point in terms of musicianship and production value, but a shattering of conventions and genre barriers in an environment known for safer sounds. Armed with an eclectic arsenal of influences ranging from hardcore punk, swing, pop, jazz, and metal, A Well Dressed Man is set to kill, knocking audiences off their feet with .50 caliber rounds of sweaty rock'n'roll!

Sounds Like: 1.Trying to get a nipple piercing while being fed feet first into a woodchipper.

2.Beating up 2nd graders for their lunch money.

3.Emptying the entire contents of a salt shaker onto your tongue then licking an ice cube.

4.A piss shiver.

5.What any metal band would sound like if they were from a shitty iowa town.
