Welcome to the new website, a lot more streamlined & loaded with more goodies for your enjoyment! The music page has some live tracks and cuts from our latest "Make An Animal Noise", more to come soon.

The band has been getting a bit 2-headed since the egress of engineer/drummer/mad inventor Steve noTV last autumn. We have been working out a new punk-rock set of « originals (old & new) & « covers (Ramones, Replacements, Elvis Costello, etc.) with my old buddy & pal Dave McMullin; at the same time we've also been working on a more stripped down roots set with accordion & other touches, including a bunch of quieter tunes that have rarely seen the light of day.
