Biography

Emo/indie rock band founded in 1993 in Champaign, IL. The original line-up consisted of [a447597] (vocals/guitar), [a1049558] (guitar), [a522719] (bass), and [a629921] (drums). Of that original quartet, only Roy was actually from Champaign. The other members were all from the Chicago area and were attending college in Champaign. Jay Ryan, nearing graduation, left after a few practices and was replaced by [a483932]. Also, [a1656894] joined the band as 2nd vocalist. This line-up would last for 2 shows and record one song before Ruess departed. In the summer of 1994, [a572343], another Chicago-area native, joined the band as lead vocalist. Shortly afterwards, Pete Havranek, unhappy with the band's musical direction, left the group. The band had been planning on recording their first EP when Pete left, and the covers had been printed prior to the recording so he was credited on the first pressing despite not actually playing on the record. With Pete's departure, Chris stepped away from being the full-time lead singer and picked up the guitar. In mid-1999, the band announced their impending break-up, playing their last shows in the summer of 1999, hitting Champaign, Chicago, and Milwaukee (the hometowns of all the members).

LYRICS

nineteen ninety eight looked great on
plain white paper on the fiftieth plane to champaign
but to tell you the truth
if i had a chance to kill it
i'd pick it up and take it and shake it and
kiss it to death
there's something inside like a conscience
that says "you're painting floors while
your pals are renaming the stars
get up get up and go do what you started
if you want to be a martyr, try harder"

go my son have you grown?
go make a home
and put the kids in their beds


and i will talk about this year
if there was something to talk about
and you sell and you sell with your heart
so you can make a few bucks and lose a few friends
and this is the stuff that makes you
and it will be the same that breaks you
move on get on with your life
it's pointless to play if you don't get paid


why not go my son have you grown?
go make a home
and put the kids in their beds
the kid's in our heads
we've got a lot of great mistakes to make
we've got a lot of chances to take
so let's take our time and hurry


go my son has come home
i said no and made my own
and put the kids in their beds
the kid's in our heads
we've got a lot of people to fear this year
so addy if you want to be near
sing will to the wind and worry
oh addy do i love you
but god such things i have to do
addy do i want to hear you
but i just can't get through
addy do i miss you
these dreams i sing when i
kiss you

oh addy do i love you
but got such things i have to do
ady do i want to hold you
but anyone may do
addy do i miss you
these dreams i sing when i'm
