Our collective desire is to play music that excites & challenges us. We think that if we can find some intoxication from creation & performance, & support ourselves even a little bit while doing it, all of this effort will be worth something. Frankly all of this is just an excuse to play constantly.
So you should come see us. We won't be running full-page ads in Spin, or parading around like rock star clothes whores, but you will see something musical, emotional, fucking real.
Off the very top o my head, here are some bands we've had anywhere from the greatest pleasure to the greatest displeasure to share the stage with, in absolutely no order: tara jane o-neil, the building press, dianogah, cheer accident, mt. eerie, 31 knots, kayo dot, us maple, will whitmore, the ants, the french kicks, skeleton key, ambulance ltd., xiu xiu, bee & flower, the paper chase, mirah, the six parts seven, the beauty pill, the fruit bats, paper lions, jucifer, john vanderslice, the mountain goats, devandra banhart, meth and goats, the autumn project, nameless numberhead man, shaun na na, the international playboys, the liverhearts, dig shovel dig, the housebreakers, ZZZs, wind-up bird, old time relijun, ad frank (of the fast & easy women), ralph jones band, the blame game, the ills, larkness, har mar superstar, instrumental quarter, transponder, the show is the rainbow, troubled hubble, june panic, oh my god, lock and key, neva dinova, race for titles, sicbay, fawn fables, azita
