They have been referred and refer to themselves as an “indie folk orchestra”. Their pop sensibilities are augmented by an organic and electric array of instrumentation. They have been a functioning band as far back as 2002, with writer/vocalist/guitarist Rob Mulhearn and his wife Tammy(drums) as constants. Shelby Rushing (guitar/vocals), Kyle Bailey(bass), Kelly Stone(viola) have also logged considerable time in this outfit and Kevin Carbo(electronic noise of varied ambience) joined in 2006.
Three full-length discs have bowed: What Is It About This Place?(2005), Seven Headed Monster(2007) and all-covers disc for free download Le Bach(2008). Their 2009 EP The Nights Are Growing Long, is this band at critical mass.
