   About The Citizens


The Citizens Bio As Understood by Guitarist, Thom Loubet:
In 2002, frontman Mark and I played together for the first time in a cramped NY rehearsal studio with the experimental funk octet, Earthdriver. Then, Mark asked me to play guitar on his own project. I went way up to the Bronx with a bag of effects and no idea what to expect. What I found was the thing Id been practicing for since I was eleven.
Jason and John (the rhythm section) hopped on board next, lending their unique, Oregon spawned pulse to the project.
Lastly, Citizen Katherine joined us with her laptop, Rhodes and voice. Bringin' the Science! - AND THEN THERE WERE FIVE...
Well be the first ones to tell you this band goes a lot of places sonically. Its who we are as a group. Weve all been around the block, fronting the half-formed or riding along as sidemen in sidecars. It was fun, and it made us good. But this is ours. This is a fusion of everything weve learned, and a chance to play only what we love.
