his characters find their way into song. Songs
range from unabashed cow-punk to dark alt-country dripping with weepy steel guitar. Since 1994 the
band have made 8 albums, Seven studio, 1 live.

drifters moving between the cities of the MidWest.

which has overtones of Dylan to the truly haunting
‘The Kid From Belmont Street’. For lovers of Wilco
and American Music Club, this band is a must-see.
