Just Warming Up
Fill your world with happy weirdness. Surf punk psychedelic love songs to poodles. Cool electronic burbling spoken word dramas. Hip funk rock and roll with tons of harp and loud guitars. Fun stuff that you can dance to. We love you, man.
Why this name?
Steve and I have been playing together for 30 years.
Do you play live?
We live way out in the woods in Maine, on the coast up next to the Canadian border in scenic Machias, Maine. Yes we love it here.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
People get to hear us on the internet. That'll never happen on the radio.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
They would never sign us. We don't fit the demographics.
