About swivel chairs

Old friends are the best kind, and we oughta know. We invite you to join in - especially on the choruses. There's some drinking implied, but we're sure you can handle it. We have dual-citizenship in Philadelphia and Brooklyn, which is just the way we like it. We all play in other bands, but we're trying to make this one the most fun. So, let the tubes warm up and here we go... (There's an in-depth bio and lots of other stuff on our website too, if you want.) xo/ the 'chairs...
