About Me

Four young, rugged and relatively handsome gentlemen embark on a post-punk adventure filled with chiming guitars, power-walking bass lines and songs about llamas and stuff.We've played with The Arcade Fire, Sylvain Sylvain, The Frogs, and the SuicideGirls Burlesque Show. We live in Milwaukee and have no pets.
Our next album, Kennedy, will be beautiful.
