ARTIST BIO:

Happenstance struck and Kevin, Josh, Carly, David and Nate met at a local Jazz festival in Carbondale, IL. They've been playing oddly structured pop music ever since.

One year after their formation, they were deemed "Best College Band of 2008" by Rolling Stone Magazine and have since opened up for Nas, The Duke Spirit, Eulogies, shared a bill with Bob Dylan, Gnarls Barkely, Spoon, The Black Keys, & Black Mountain, recorded with famed producer Brian Deck, and once enjoyed the luxoury of a yacht.

yal are the blackest damn fortys i ever did saw. bueno bueno!  thanks again for everything.  also  [carbondale discovery] when you order from jewel of india, tell them "MAKE MINE INDIAN HOT!" and your food will come out delicious and spicy [even more spicy than thai taste's 10]. but be sure and get one of their iced/yogurty drinks alongside to properly extinguish the fire.
chao - talk soon !

When you guys play the Gallery I think Carly should be the only one clothed. It'll even out with the strippers inside.

Wow great show
Haha I think Kevin talking to me helped me get this cool girl's number, even though my father was actually sitting next to me enjoying you guys as well!! She's a big fan. I thought it'd be impossible lol. Hope I didn't freak you out by being conservative, you seemed surprised! Let me just say Bush was a fascist, glad he's done.
