For years they've been running cross-country from Athens, Georgia to Chicago, Illinois. You can find them regularly in D.C. at the 9:30 Club, in Norfolk at the King's Head Inn, in Philadelphia at the Khyber Pass and the Trocadero, in Morgantown, WV at The Nyabinghi Dance Hall, in Baltimore at Memory Lane, and in Pittsburgh at Luciano's. Oh yeah, they've also played in NYC at CBGB's.
Bands they've played with include Fugazi, 9353, Shudder to Think, Avail, the Goats, Mule, Branch Manager, Trench Mouth, Antimony, and King Sour. Lovely people, every last one of 'em.
Their two singles, recorded by Steve Albini, are on heavy rotation at WKDU in Philadelphia and WRTC in Pittsburgh. DATs have been recorded and a CD is being worked on. More and more people have been coming out to shows, and things have been going very well. New T-Shirts are now available in stunning color, and the singles are available Joe Lally's label TOLOTTA and Lars Kreslin's label EGG YOLK RECORDS.
