We are on a creative hiatus until our analog recordings match the high aesthetic standards of some of our Soundclick brethren, whose digitally enhanced music is always beautifully produced.

Work in progress... Just some more aging guitar hacks learning how to master the recording process and looking for feedback as we climb out of the ooze. We are here out of love for the creative process and hoping to create a few sublime moments of shambolic synergy......
Why this name?
There've been two very different interpretations about the name of this band; one is drug related and the other rhymes with a racial slur. No one seems to guess that our choice relflected our abiding love for a genre of indigenous American music. These associations are far more revealing of the people who make them... No one says "hey i know, Dan's a sheetmetal foreman."
Do you play live?
Sort of.. We're half dead so I guess we need it.
Special moments? Rare moments when five assholes link arms and sing Kum Baye Ya together.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Crumble it, humble it, diversify it. resurrect it and restore it back to its indigenous, innocent ,accidental purity. You know, all that up with people crap.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
"money, money changes everything......"
Band History:
Four brothers and a couple of confederates building a home made studio, experimenting and hopefully evolving as musicians in Portland...
Your influences?
raw guitar songs about love and sex and hope and fear and life and death and thrills and boredom and and....
Favorite spot?
"Out damned spot"............Anywhere that books us/likes us/doesn't have us arrested.
Equipment used:
All the crap we can find via retail or ebay..We think analog is cool cuz we're old...
Anything else...?
Did I say we are learning not to suck!
