Bio:

.. Hey. We're from Champaign IL. We have songs influenced by "stuff you see man, stuff you see. Stuff you live, stuff you see." Write us something if you got an "idea" or just want to say hey. Hit up our friends' bands from Champaign Urbana IL over there would you please huh? Take care of yourself and each other. One love. .. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.1

Who Cares? This is what "professionals" say about us.-------------------------> John Hoeffleur is a songwriter with a Midas-like touch in articulating the pious nature of love and heartbreak (8/10) - NME "In the crowded alt-rock scene, John Hoeffleur - lead singer and songwriter of The Beauty Shop - stands out like a dirty thumb with a desperately bitten nail...Crisis Helpline is a country album tailor-made for the punk and emo kids...The beautifully observed The Love I Could Not Save smacks of slacker apathy, but Hoeffleur twists a fairytale into a comment on the Columbine shootings in Rumplestiltskin Lives... exhilarating". (Guardian, live review) The Love I Could Not Save contains more naked emotion in 4 minutes than most bands manage in an entire career Sunday Herald (4 STARS) "Intimate yet inclusive, intense yet casual - a lovely slice of crafted melancholia" Classic Rock (4 STARS) A unique and very appealing sound Record Of The Day Moody, wistful and melodic The Independent (4 STARS) God bless those who keep it simple The Herald (3 STARS) "A lo-fi punk aesthetic at work that is as much J Mascis as Johnny Cash" Mojo (3 STARS) A fine follow-up Q (3 STARS) Violent Femmes fans will find much to please them Uncut (3 STARS)
