The Injured Parties played its debut gig in February 2005. Led by former Post Office songwriter, Larry O. Dean, the IP's came together after Dean's previous band, the ambitious, avant-pop sextet, The Me Decade, imploded. Looking to streamline the violin and viola-driven sound of TMD, Dean recruited bassist, Jimmy De Lauriea (Bugga-ohng, Shiver) and drummer, Mike Ebersohl (The Veil, YellowHammers) from the vibrant Chicago music underground, creating a more classic 'power trio' line-up.
With rich three-part harmonies, chugging electric guitar, deft rhythms and Dean's 'songs and sardonica' approach to composition, The Injured Parties' music draws inspiration from the melody and verve of vintage Kinks, the squonk of Neil Young's Crazy Horse, the blissful feedback of The Velvet Underground, the psychedelic twang of The Byrds, and the hard-edged pop of The Posies.
Commemorating its one year anniversary, The Injured Parties headed into the studio to begin recording its debut CD with engineer, Jeff Hamand (Souled American, Tallulah, Diane Izzo) and producer, Mark Nevers (Lambchop, Clientele, Calexico).
