ABOUT THE MUSIC      ABOUT THE BAND MEMBERS      CONCERTS

December 2008 we were singing carols at the tree lighting in our small Long Island town when all of a sudden - almost magically - we spotted a flyer for a battle of the bands. Kismet! We entered, we played, we lost (I'm very sorry to say) but we've been busting out tunes ever since.



We vaciliate between the poles of indie and country rock. We cover a few pop songs too - mostly "Lonely No More," by Rob Thomas. (This we sing ironically, of course.)



We have only two songs we're (relatively) famous for - "Cold Winter's Night in Jamestown" and "Down on the Farm." The former being elegaic and sad, the latter funny and upbeat. We like to appease both the need to cry and the need to laugh, you see.
