We're an Indie Rock band from Wyandotte Mi. We have been playing as a 4-some for 3-4 years, but recently separated from our drummer. The 3 remaining members are all late 30's dudes with families and jobs. We're all long time friends and very easy going people. We try to practice once a week on Fridays after work. We will play live typically once a month, give or take. When time allots we definitely like to get out there more often. We have one full length album that we mostly recorded and produced ourselves, and are hard at work on album 2. Mostly for the fun of it. We take the music somewhat seriously, but not ourselves at all. There are no virtuoso musicians in the band, but we all have our lane. Zero egos here. Just looking to keep having a good time and play some tunes, write some thoughtful and fun songs, ranging from acoustic and simple, to dual electric guitars and kinda loud.
The 2 main songwriters (so far), have been playing music together for about 15 years. The only fights are trying to convince the other person to sing lead more often.
