About Me

"I guess there’s more to Minneapolis than bridges falling down. This group looks like a bunch of neo hippies, but they are more informed by Velvet Underground even if they are covering David Grisman, Malvina Reynolds and Rodgers and Hammerstein. Smart, young rockers that feel free to mixmaster influences from where ever it suits them into a youthful, joyful noise that seems designed as a defense to long, cold winters. Alt.underground all the way done right." - MidwesRecord.com
