Now-defunct indie rock band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, initially formed as a side-project by Davey von Bohlen (vocals, guitar), Jason Gnewikow (guitar), Scott Beschta (bass), and Daniel Didier (drums). At the time of the formation, von Bohlen was a member of Cap'n Jazz, while Gnewikow had played with None Left Standing, and Beschta and Didier had been members of Ceilishrine. Beschta left the band following the recording of their 2nd album, "Nothing Feels Good", and was replaced first by Tim Burton (formerly of None Left Standing) and then Scott Schoenbeck. The band split after the release of their 2002 LP, "Wood/Water", which was recorded with bassist Ryan Weber. Von Bohlen and Didier later re-teamed in Vermont and Maritime.
