Ideal Cleaners

About Me


"Here is no water but only rock." - T.S. Eliot (1888-1965)
In early 2003, we started this band in Lincoln, Nebraska. We're still there.
We've released the following, all on SPEED! Nebraska Records:
Make Your Time - 45rpm 7" - 2 songs (2004)
The H is O - CD - 10 songs (2005)
Tag, you're ick. - 45rpm 7" - 3 songs (2006)
Muchacho - CD - 10 songs (2007)
About the band: We're open minded enough to appreciate both expensive Belgian Ales and Miller High Life, although we disagree on which is preferred. This inner band conflict comes out as loud, aggressive rock music. We are loud, we are weathered, and we are sexy. We want to rock you. (But only for about 25 minutes to half an hour.)
So far, our modus operandi has been to play for as little money and for as few people as possible. Whether or not this is by design is unclear, but if you know of any gigs that fit those criteria, please give us a call.
