Instrumental post-punk math-rock band consisting of Marc Miller (guitar), Nat Fowler (guitar), and Chris Freeland (drums).
Known for rowdy performances and confrontational theatrical pranks. The two guitarists performed standing on large wooden boxes, or walking through the audience with wireless guitars. Members were associated with The Baltimore Rowdy Collective and as a part of their stage show staged outrageous antics and practical jokes.
Seen locally at the Ottobar, Fletcher’s, Manhattan Project, SoWeBo Festival, Goucher College… Toured nationally and internationally. Showcased on U.K.’s Peel Sessions on BBC radio. The group broke up in 2005 after Fowler relocated to Italy, but they played occasional reunion shows since then.
