Release Notes:
This Toledo, Ohio-based band was formed by singer and guitarist Tony Lowe, who
played with a variety of bands in Ohio, including Junior Electric. In 2003 he
met Jeff Nelson, who had drummed for many bands, most notably Minor Threat. Jeff
moved to Toledo from the Washington, DC area because of his obsession with old
Jeep Wagoneers, (Jeep is from Toledo) and for ToledoÆs remarkable collection of
affordable Victorian houses. Although when he moved he had not played drums in
12 years, he was so impressed by Tony's playing, singing, and songwriting that
he came out of retirement to join his band.
Several lineup changes later, they were joined by bassist Mahlon Orrin, whoÆd
played in The Black Dahlia Murder and PB.Army. Shortly thereafter, the band was
completed when friend and law student Erika Kuester joined them on keyboards.
When Tony had first looked around the big Victorian house Jeff bought, he was
immediately struck by how perfect it would be for recording, especially the
third-floor ballroom. With friend Brian Nupp (known as the ôFifth Piece of
Furnitureö) engineering, a great variety of sounds were captured in the
ballroom, the second floor hall, and in various bedrooms and bathrooms. The
results can be heard on their debut album, ôAdventures in Contentment,ö a
co-release between Adult Swim and Dischord Records.
