Biography

American indie rock band from Omaha, Nebraska, formed by [a=Tim Kasher], [a=Matt Maginn], & [a=Stephen Pedersen] in the spring of 1995 as an endeavor to "give music a serious try", after parting ways with [a=Casey Caniglia] who played drums for previous band [a=Slowdown Virginia]. [a=Clint Schnase], who previously played with Pedersen in [a=Smashmouth] joined the band on Drums. The band's name came from a passage in a book by V. S. Naipaul, in which the British were forcing subjugated Indians to learn how to write English in cursive penmanship, symbolic of a pointless exercise with no value, and Kasher compares this to the band forcing music as a discipline, taking it seriously. In a result of Kasher's marriage and move to Portland, Oregon in 1998, the band broke up. However, Kasher's divorce only a year later in 1999 and return to Omaha prompted a reformation of the band. Pedersen had left Omaha to attend law school in North Carolina during the band's downtime, so [a=Ted Stevens] joined the band and filled Pedersen's previous role of Guitar and Backing Vocals. With a various ensemble of members over the years, both former and returning, Kasher, Maginn, and Stevens have been a long fronting core trio within the band's runtime. Current Members: [a=Tim Kasher] - Lead Vocals, Guitar, Organ (1995-1998, 1999-Present) [a=Matt Maginn] - Bass, Backing Vocals (1995-1998, 1999-Present) [a=Ted Stevens] - Guitar, Backing Vocals (1999-Present) [a=Clint Schnase] - Drums, Percussion (1995-1998, 1999-2007, 2018-Present) [a=Patrick Newbery] - Keys, Trumpet; Various (2006-Present) [a=Megan Siebe] - Cello (2018-Present) [a=Pat Oakes] - Drums (Touring & Recording) (2018-Present) Previous Members: [a=Stephen Pedersen] - Guitar, Backing Vocals (1995-1998) [a=Gretta Cohn] - Cello (2001-2005) [a=Matthew Compton] - Drums (2007-2009) [a=Cully Symington] - Drums (2009-2018)

LYRICS

The furnace burns, the baby turns
She cries when she's hungry
The morning paper will knock the door
To interrupt their slumbers
Are you satisfied tonight, oh, trader's wife?
Does he neglect you?
Crawling bar stools and touching the girls
As you wash their smell from his clothes

They shoot the horses when they're too old to race
And so, my dear, is there room in bed for me?
The setting Sun has eteched lines upon this face
Shades of red of a furious defeat

Are you satisfied tonight, oh, trader's wife?
As he thinks to you:
"I don't know you anymore,
And I can't breathe in this apartment"

Sleep, my Sweetie, let the days expire
They've outnumbered you
Hold me sweetly, like the days we bled with love
A red so deep we sunk
We sunk...
