TIMELINE [taken directly from the official OUTHUD website]
When Phyllis Forbes and Molly Schnick are 14 they form a band in Berkeley, CA.
Eventually they play together in a punk rock band called Tourettes. Nic Offer and Tyler Pope were in a punk rock band called Yah-Mos. Phyllis Forbes and Justin Vandervolgen are making four track recordings together. Oh yeah, everybody is living in Sacramento, CA at this point. Eventually, around 1996, a band called Out Hud (don't ask us, we don't really know) coalesces. At the same time Justin, Nic and Tyler are playing in a larger, funk combo called !!!.
The first Out Hud single was released in an edition of 500 on a label called Red Alert Works. The music is indebted to Public Image Ltd., but there is a serrated edge and energy that is in its own way, American. Out Hud proceed to cross America in a van playing all-ages shows. Another seven inch on GSL arrives, and a split 12 inch with !!!, too.
Every step of the way, the band's mixture of cello, bass, guitar and drums with one member at the mixing desk gets more distinct and their grip on rhythm tighter. The Out Hud tracks on the split 12" carry a heavy weight of dub technique and metallic, gated drum beats that indicate that mixer Justin Vandervolgen knows his way around the On-U Sound catalog. kranky first discovers Out Hud driving down Western Ave. listening to the mighty WNUR. You gotta pullover when you hear it. We go see the band play at the Fireside Bowl, warming up for Locust and making the thrift store pants shake it. Talks were had, deals were made. In the meantime, Out Hud up and move to New York to join Molly Schick, who has been studying at NYU. Having recorded half an album in Sacramento, the band begins to finish it up in New York.
Then Justin begins the mix.
Okay, so now it's two years since pen was put to paper. Street Dad is released in November 2003. Since Out Hud started the City That Celebrates Itself has discovered rock music again. Surprisingly enough, kids don't want to hear lukewarm Brian Wilson and endless noodle fests. The years of sweat in basements and VFW Halls have paid off for Out Hud. The time taken in crafting the album has paid off. More touring starts, North America and Europe. Out Hud came before it and demonstrate why, beyond doubt, they will outlast it. All of it.
Now there is new music for Justin to mix. No more live drumkit, lots of machines. The girls sing. There is a taste of house, maybe even of Moroder. Basic tracks were recorded in spring 2003. Now all we have to do is wait while the magic does its work.
this is just a fan site, so i'd be glad to put up any song requests you guys have but i have nothing to do w/the actual band.. sorry!

LOL this is crazy! And it only works if you have Internet Explorer (I think). You have to go to www . retwistic . com (no spaces) and then after it loads you need to hit the back button or else the funny video won't come up. If that doesn't work then hit the forward button instead.
Forms in Flux A jarbled mix of everything, Forms in Flux takes on most genres out there right now. There’s electronica, hip-hop, spoken word, Americana bass lines and anti-government angst, all topped off with some singsongy “Ring Around the Rosy.” While nobody seems to be left out … what the hell is going on here? C.B. Sounds like : the Chemical Brothers ran into an unplugged Trent Reznor, then plotted to smack the taste out of the Flobots’ mouth—but the Roots won’t let ’em
