Guitarist Phil Schuldt and drummer Matt Molenaar began the band as a duo in Bloomington, IL, circa 90something, and Paul Kamp joined on bass and vocals a few years later. Paul's brother Jim joined in 2005 on guitar to assist in recording their third, and undeniably greatest, album WHICH IS OUT NOW. The band released it's first collection of music, the 1998 landmark, Oh Yeah, That's Right!, on Chicago's No Record Company label. Their sparkling, stunning, stereophonic sophomore effort, Mission Statement, was released on Chicago's Veronica Records in 2003. NEW 2007 RELEASE Vultures + Doves is back on good old No Record Co. And it's awesome.
