We drew a pretty good crowd at our last gig--the closing party of the BWAC art show on the pier in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Our drummer Don Peretz plays the Old Office regularly with his band Foreman.

the music is guitar-based (but not at all limited to) expressionistic improved scapes, organic melodies many times draped by beats and treats
we were both recently involved in a project that was more post-rock based and we did some of the college circuit, and small venue/club scene. with the current lineup of just the two of us, we have played only a few small clubs and are looking to book an east coast tour this fall.
