  • Bio

    .. We're a band. We've written a lot of songs, released two full length albums, had our music played in a bunch of TV shows (and 2 movies now!) and played about 600 shows at places like Warped Tour, VoodooFest, CMJ, SxSW, and over 8 national tours and countless shows in our hometown of LA. .... We're a bit too alternative rock to be indie, and a bit too indie rock to be alternative rock, and that's right where we like it. .... We want to play for you. We think you might like us. And actually, we're pretty sure your mom would like us too. We want to play to a sold-out crowd in Japan someday. We want to jump off a speaker stack at a festival in Germany. We want to raid Goodwills across this fine nation for crappy Casio keyboards that we will then put on albums (so far, the Casio "Rapman" and the Casiotone CT-360 have made noteworthy appearances). We wanna buy more guitar pedals, and not use them on guitars. We want to make a lot more albums. We want to never stop changing. We want to be your band, if you want to be ours.
