Bio
"Humdrum is a cleverly constructed folding of intelligent lyric, off-kilter humor, technical savvy... and that indefinable soul to back it all up." Here's a link to our press page: http://www.humdrumband.com/press.asp.... A band of St. Louis indie-rock refugees, Humdrum is: Mic Boshans (drums/vocals), Paul Maguire (guitar/vocals), Dan Meehan (bass/vocals), and Phil Strangman (keys/guitar/vocals). In 2008, Paul returned to Saint Louis from Morocco. He and Phil began writing songs about life, love, and mermaids. Simultaneously, Dan and Mic (Paul's cousin) were writing and recording songs with similar themes—save mermaids. After Mic was asked to play drums with Phil and Paul, it didn't take long for him to realize the serendipitous connections these projects shared. He prompted them to join forces, and Humdrum was born. Since its birth, Humdrum's sound has evolved into a melody-driven mixture of acoustic guitars, experimental synths, gripping rhythms and delay pedals. Their latest album, The Arrangement, explores possibilities ranging from danceable songs about robots to waltzes about the meaning of existence. Humdrum has rapidly gained popularity in the Midwest, sharing the stage with a host of excellent regional and national acts, including: Josiah Wolf (WHY?), Julie Doiron, Samantha Crain, Miniature Tigers, Jill Sobule, John Doe, Jookabox, Venice is Sinking, Yourself and the Air, So Many Dynamos, and Theodore. ....Contact the band: ..humdrumband@gmail.com ..www.humdrumband.com ...... .. .. .. ..<................ ......Reviews of the album, "Individual Man" ....Eleven Magazine.. ....The Current.. ....Baby Sue aka LMNOP.. ....Riverfront Times "Homespun"..

"Humdrum is a cleverly constructed folding of intelligent lyric, off-kilter humor, technical savvy, highly honed talent, musicianship beyond reproach, and that indefinable soul to back it all up." -- Surly Aardvark

Here's a link to our press page: http://www.humdrumband.com/press.asp

Humdrum is a four piece, composed of two former members of The Floating City and two other talented musicians and song writers. We've been fortunate enough to share the stage with several innovative and gifted musicians: Josiah Wolf (from Why?), Julie Doiron, Samantha Crain, Jookabox,Venice is Sinking, Theodore, and many more. We just finished recording our second full-length "The Arrangement" to be released on February 1st. We take our music seriously but we don't take ourselves too seriously. Thanks for listening!
