The Thieves are a large creative family that has developed over the years, often shifting between members for live performance and recording in the studio. The Thieves are all involved in other projects, lending thier talents live and in the studio to groups such as Neon Blonde, and Damien Jurado. The members of the band are also involved in a self-produced live/studio project, taking the Suffering penned name of The Hideous Thieves.
Jeff Suffering is a controversial and mysterious veteran of the Seattle music scene, and his terrifying and beautiful music is played by a gypsy legion of vagabond musicians known as the Hideous Thieves. They've spent the past few years performing locally in Seattle as well as up and down the West Coast, playing with bands like Gatsby's American Dream, Angels of Light, Vendetta Red, the Blood Brothers, and These Arms Are Snakes, to name only a few.
"Jeff Suffering's many-leveled, troubled and tremulous lyrics (arguably some of the best in the independent music scene) stab into the listener at any moment, augmented by an instrumental backdrop sounding somehow invented on-the-spot and meticulously crafted by musical prodigies." Someone in Seattle wrote that in a article, thanks and sorry we've forgot who.

Hey Jeff, you probably dont remember but back at cornerstone '98 you spent a lot of time talking to me and that really influenced me musically as well as how performers should treat fans. Thanks a lot man! That still means a lot to me even to this day! You ROCK! Darby Wilson
jeff, i am lost without you. i need you. if you have another project going, please let me know what it is. if you don't, then you should get this band back together. there are thousands of people just like me out there that need more suffering in their lives. please.
I WANT TO SEE YOU GUYS PLAY SO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!! IM STILL UPSET I NEVER GOT TO SEE NINETY POUND WUSS PLAY!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH haha anyway hopefully it will happen sometime
Please know that I do love you. Your music has meant and still does mean a lot to me. You will return to my Top Friends list when you become active again.
And by the way, I just got three Ninety Pound Wuss CDs (s/t, Where Meager Die Of Self Interest, and Short Hand Operation) and they're great. The s/t is a bit different than the others. I enjoyed them all. Yeah, I'm a little late on that. I also have a Raft Of Dead Monkeys CD coming in the mail. Just saying.
If you could pray for my Grandpa, that'd be awesome. He had a heart attack less than twelve hours ago. I don't know exactly how he's doing, but he could definately use some prayers.
Again, I love you all and hope to meet you all soon. <3
