InfluencesWe're in love with the pop, where and whenever it's from; we're always influenced as writers and musicians by whatever we've just been listening to. Lately, that's been a steady diet of Squeeze, Nick Lowe, Rockpile, The Lovin' Spoonful, and The La's. We never travel far without a LOT of Big Star, The Beatles, Wilco, Elvis Costello, Something/Anything-era Todd Rundgren, The Byrds, The Beach Boys, and Old '97's. The newly remastered Sly catalog is getting airplay in the road mobile, as is Dusty in Memphis, Live at Leeds, Elliot Smith's masterful XO, and a thousand other CD's scattered like little melodic jewels across the carpet of the van.
Sounds LikePure pop for now people. Singles! Short songs, catchy melodies, loads of harmonies, and a beat you can dance to. If you can't dig that...well...your taste is not our problem.

Chattanooga you say? In one of my favorite towns you say? On my off day you say? At what I've heard people say is a cool place I haven't been to yet? I'm as good as in (hopefully).
Yay!
