The Sound:
Picking up where Chapel Hill left off. We've been called a mix of
equal parts "Bakesale"-era Sebadoh, Polvo, and Man...Or Astroman?. But
we think there's more to it than that.

Tour/Performance History:
Local Shows: Ongoing for more than six years. Have opened for
Mike Watt (who mentions us on his web page), Crooked Fingers, Man...Or
Astroman?, True Love Always, Tracy Shedd, many others. Frequently
headline all-local shows.

Summer 2001: Circumference Records-sponsored tour of Japan;
played venues ranging from small clubs to a 1000-person outdoor
festival in Osaka.
