We started this project in autumn of 1998 as accompaniment to support local American Indian poets and other writers at a public reading. The literary event never happened, so we decided to have a go at being a band.

We opened for Indigenous twice and also played shows in support of political, environmental, and social causes. We played shows to support the fight against the Highway 55 reroute, and participated in the Day of Art and Music for Mumia Abu Jamal and political prisoners everywhere.

I tried to retain in these rather folkish songs some unsettling musical elements. But at the same time, I was enjoying the challenge of not playing a stack cranked to 11, as well as responding to a vocalist with a strong aesthetic intent.

We started out as college friends, and as such, our time together was limited first by our schoolwork and secondly by us all embarking on different career paths that scattered us across three states. And one of them was Alaska.
