Sounds Like
In the process of songwriting and rehearsal, echoes of certain sounds have exerted their influence, provided guidance, or seeded ideas: the Police, the Clash, New Order, Radiohead, the Cars, metal bands that only Matt listens to.
At once a mad scientist and calculating tunesmith, ADAM BARTELL has played with the Strand, managed Wow and Flutter and has probably done some other things he didn't tell us about. Fellow Wisconsinite (Wisconsonian?) MATT DABY is a grown-up skate punk who cut his teeth in a number of scrappy punk bands and now has to cope with with Adam's over-wrought pop sensibilities and Beatles fixation. Keyboadist EMILY PROSCH has an ear for melody and the heart for somber minor chords and lilting keyboard lines. Underlined by STEVEN DUTT's energetic bass parts, the band concocts a soundtrack of divergent pop sounds, decidely non-retro, yet still evocative of the last several decades of pop music.
What's up Adam, good to hear from you. I like the band; I can totally hear the booze and kittens oozing between tracks. For the record, we prefer Wisconstituants.
you guys sounded great last night, you made me late to work though, and hungover. we should play a show together sometime soon, outta town maybe? xoxoxo ryan

Kenny's back, you can hug him too, if you come to the 'Couv...
32W Yeah!!! I like it when adam hits the cymbals too hard with the guitar and matt has to fix them when he gets a chance! Thanks for the show. and steve - thanks for the elevator jam.
