Academy of Chess and Checkers is a band, originally from Los Angeles, now based
in Chicago.
The band is said to draw inspiration from the likes of Neil Young, Sonic Youth,
Radiohead, Wilco, Wes Anderson, and Stanley Kubrick (whose film The Killing
played a formative roll in the Academy's evolution). Although when asked about
these claims, they refused to comment.
In attempting to describe the Academy, people have said things like "Johnny Cash
mixed with Pink Floyd", or "Beck doing Tom Waits songs", but the one we like
best is "Tom Petty remixed by David Lynch".
