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)
