James Low writes the songs and plays things with strings. The rest of the band is a rotating cast of musical maniacs including Tim Huggins, Aram Arslanian, Rob Stroup, Lewi Longmire, Jason Okamoto, Scott McPhereson, Paul Brainard, and Astrid Kirchherr.
Influences
Gravity. Magnetism. Sometimes alcohol. Sea Salt. Caffeine. And Dr. Who.
Raised in rural Oregon. Traveled the world. Wrote a few songs and recorded a few albums. Fell in love. Fell out of love. Got a dog. Got ready to slip off quietly into the sunset. Then one late night James was slouched at the bar contemplating a very dirty martini when the ghost of Ernest Hemingway came up behind him and smacked him on the back of the head. Get up you pansy!! he said. Do you think you can defeat fascists in a self pitying stupor? Have another drink and get out there!!

Videos of Jeffrey Frederick in action are finally up on MySpace -- historical, hysterical, just damn good. Here's one of them (check the others out, too):
Thanks for the add -- Your sound is very cool and earthy! I like the quiet scratchy sounds in the background of Lord's Prayer. The piano moments were a nice touch, too. :) Stephanie
The more I see that picture the more I agree with you. There was table facing the other way where I remember one time at that age, sifting pot seeds for my stepdad. That carpet met my face too many time as well too!
