   About The Exchange Rate
This bio could attempt to explain the art created by € <-> $ but the common myspace troller could never understand it. An normal person could call their music amazing but that wouldn't capture how good it really is. Each note of each song is pondered over for weeks at a time. It took nearly a lifetime to create enough songs for a 45 minute set at PA's Lounge. When the artists begin to play, it is as if they fuse into an amorphous mass of musical poetry penetrating each listeners soul and loin. If you do not like their music, it is because you are not worthy.

So it's a capital 'T' that's been hanging you up? Don't worry, it's only paint. And paint is easy to remove. If I was your mother and you were my daughter, you would be sleeping already. I wear these pajamas only on weekends. And you think that's healthy? People don't listen to their body until it's too late. I am not dramatic, I am merely being practical.

You're certainly less pretentious than The Shins. And your music doesn't channel Brian Wilson! Gigs soon here in New Hampshire. The rednecks will love you guys.

The Exchange Rate any band that has enough material for a cd but no way to produce it should definately check this out, after our success with producing our own CD's we thought we should help others out who need their cd produced as well!!
