Band Members:

The Itch is what happens when a frustrated artist, a 5 year recluse and a reformed political extremist, who are all disillusioned by music, get together and form a band. Hailing from the cultural hubcap of the Bible belt, SW Missouri, The Itch makes a hobby out of desecrating the sanctity of music theorists and rock traditionalists. Refusing to be pegged or labeled, they barrelacross the spectrum of music styles in their writing and are known for short, sharp sets on stage and rapid schizophrenic changes in their music.
Their lyrical subjects are less concerned with ingenuity, enlightenment and meaning then they are with first hand experiences and story telling. The Itch guarantees to entertain a crowd with attention deficit disorders and personality flaws and to alienate self righteous musicians and hipsters.
