Energetic pop music featuring songwriting akin to Jonathan Richman of the modern lovers and perhaps a tinge of pixies' frank black, and the violent femmes. way-outside guitar playing in the vein of marc ribot (tom waits) and john zorn.
Bio / Background
"The opening song of this SF band's first cd finds them crunching out a rough'n'tumble garage pop with lots of snare drum that sounds a lot like Violent Femmes... but if Gordon Gano were replaced by more of a boyish crooner. The next track "Pipe Down!" does just that (bring things down a bit, that is!) as does the third song. These lower-key tunes which make up the better part of the album (and which gives you opportunity to catch hold of the lyrics), call to mind quirky storytellers such as Jonathan Richman, Microphones' Phil Elverum or Morrissey even. A promising indie pop debut!"
-Aquarius Records SF
"Picking Up Your Pieces is theatric, energetic, at times campy (it begins with Nichols screaming 1,2,3,4 in German and has songs about giant squids and pirate ships), but always engaging. Nichols' voice is an elastic thing, fascinating in its imperfections. The guitar solos can be messy and erratic but, again, mesmerizing in their frenetic qualities.
