It was an accident, actually. The band’s story began in the sun-baked suburb of Mesquite, Texas way back in 1994. Our heroes, David Dewese and Jerry James, stumbled upon an abandoned drum kit in a Sunday School classroom while home on college holiday. The discovery sparked a fervent series of elegant experiments in life and literature, noise and nihilism, with the results self-published via their 7” single, the Silver Leaves e.p. (1998) and the subsequent full-length debut, Calcutta (1999), released on the San Rafael, California label, American Pop Project. After a handful of terrible live shows, the duo made Rodeo City (AmPop 2001), a record of bright and catchy guitar rock that drew comparisons to Big Star and vintage Pavement. In 2005 our co-conspirators returned with their stark and perfect 3rd long-player, Hesitation Eyes: 12 lonesome and fractured songs about heartbreak, divorce, library late fees, and Ivy League grade inflation.
