About Us

we are an uplifting / depressing pop band from bellingham. our favorite things in the world are cute animal costumes and really disgusting sexual graffiti. we've never seen the redwoods, but we hope to soon. we think we're dying, we really do! but we keep on living. we don't know why -- we think it has something to do with evolution.

HERE'S WHAT SOME NICE PEOPLE HAVE SAID ABOUT OUR MUSIC:

REVIEW 1
jeff ballew (after a show): "how did you like go slowpoke?"
girl 1: "it was really good, but it was so sad! i thought it would get better as the set went along, but it just got worse!! i just wanted to give the lead singer a hug and tell him everything was going to be okay!"

REVIEW 2
psych ward patient to joel, upon hearing forty seconds of be less embarrassing: "jesus, joel! would you mind putting on something a little less fucking depressing??"

REVIEW 3
peter (at bar, introducing friends): "hey brian, this is the girl all my songs are about!"
brian stephens: "aww, that's sweet!"
girl 2: (shaking brian's hand) "yeah right. just wait until you hear the words."

"We all admire the spangled acrobat with classical grace meticulously walking his tight rope in the talcum light; but how much rarer art there is in the sagging rope expert wearing scarecrow clothes and impersonating a grotesque drunk! I should know." (Vladimir Nabokov) Thank you for your friendship! Musical greetings from Munich/Germany!
