"Let's give a hand of applause to the band. C'mon everyone let's give a hand of applause to Simien the Wheel. They keepin' awesome week going."
"Zach you kinda sound like Cat Stevens"
"Dude, Tory does a mean Billy Corgan!"
"It kinda reminds me of the Beatles, but in a good way"
"We should call it 'Ska-folka'"
"There's a part in that one that reminds me of Queen. And I like it!"
Suppose you were to see Simien (the Whale) walking down the street. Would you stop to say "hi" or would you put your cell phone up to your ear and act like you were busy? Chances are Simien wouldn't mind, he would still say "hi" to you.
An ode to the lovable losers and journeyman socio-philes in this world, Tory Peterson and Zach Guy have encouraged the inclusion of wallflowers and would-be prom kings and queens through their mix of indie/alternative and break-beat rock. With a do-it-yourself attitude, lo-fi aesthetic, and lyrics built around the headlines you normally once-over, the duo gives the little guy a chance to show his best moves in the middle of the floor.
Be sure to get to know Simien (the Whale). Read his diary entries, see his pictures, write to him, friend him and get your friends to be his friends. Once you see past his scruffy, unkempt appearance, his enormous dorsal fin, and his pile of Transformers collectibles, you'll find a kind-hearted individual with a heart that truly is the largest in the animal kingdom; the kind you don't come across everyday.

I want you to know that you guys are awesome, and I hate you. I hate you because I want to be playing the show on March 28th, but I'm not that cool. So for that I hate. I mean I will still be there and clapping and smiling and stuff, but under that friendly exterior don't be fooled! I will really be hating, sure I may appear to having a great time, but deep inside hating!
