About Me


What does one say about one's own band? We play music, mostly original (although we do a cover now and then), and we like the music we make.
Things got going pretty quickly. Jake and I had Spanish together and always talked about starting a band. Keith and Cameron had already been in a band together and that one wasn't going the way they wanted and suddenly all the components fell in place.
Within a few short months we cut our first CD at Stray Dog Recording Co. It's five tracks long. We called it 'Feels Like Rain...' The next step was to play some shows and get some fans. So we did. We played shows all over, from outdoor parties in the suburbs, to venues like Double Door, Lot 4, and headlining at Elbo Room. We even had one hot week where we won two different Battle of the Bands events.
After promising for months, we have released our second CD, Trust But Verify, in 2007. We went back to the studio in the spring of 2008. Though we could not manage to get our sound guy to remember the name of the CD's first track (he just calls it Campaign, see below), we did manage to produce what we have collectively decided is our best studio effort to date.
This is getting a bit long, and if you're still with me here, then pat yourself on the back. We're a pretty new band so there isn't much to say. Enjoy the songs!
