Current Lineup

  • Mark Thomas Kluepfel – guitar/singer/songwriting
  • Adam Manning – guitar/synth
  • Clarke Foley – bass
  • Dan Leo – drums

In the studio while recording their debut, Don't Cut Your Fabric to This Year's Fashion, they employed synths to flesh out their sound and help set themselves apart from the typical rock-based indie act who normally do not experiment beyond basic rock instrumentation.


The band's second album, An Army of Shapes Between Wars, was released on January 24, 2006. The album makes more use of synthesizers and string sections.


Trivia
