The precious Press has said some things, you can read them in our BLOG.
At one point we were the Upside Downers and then we became something entirely our own. A long walk in the park where there is no finish line, nothing to hurry for. Our eyeballs turned inward we just see what sounds will come out.
Who we've played with or who's played with us: Holly Go Lightly, The Lilys, The Fall. One of us has shared billing with Fugazi, Dismemberment Plan, At The Drive In and Alkaline Trio to name a few. In a nutshell- we've been around the block.
Hey THE SHAPES, I'm stopping by your page to say "High!!" & if you want to hear a new track that's up, "Attack Of The Mushroom People," you can stop by my page anytime you're feelin' it! blessings to you! Pablo
