Renee Tibbetts I heard this band for the first time last night with my family . I was blown away! They remind me of my favorite band of all times CAKE. I am originally from Glendale C.A. and I moved to North Idaho in 2001 when my husband and I married. My husband is also a local musician, so I see a lot of bands. I have not been excited about a band like this since I use to sneak into the Gorge when I was 15 to see CAKE who started out in Sacramento C.A. where my husband and I met. Great Job Ben Olson ! Favorite track: Trucks & Guns.

You Burn 04:00
candle lighting no fist fighting ribbons tailing round your feet today you know the way stones you're casting river's blasted scars and mountain bars that waste away all of your days.... no apologies death becomes your eyes and paint fumes, imitation grey the critics say just what you want them to say bridge afire and you're worthwhile and you can't afford to lose so you burn, you burn, you burn you burn, you burn, you burn... you burn trains are passing longer lasting than attention spans of your malaise all american haze saw you walking dead and stalking sneers, hypocrisy upon your face what a waste... no apologies it's funny how the dead keep living while they're sins are all forgiven.... it's funny ain't it? good luck with all your validation, your tower made of salt and impatience oh you gonna burn. you burn, you burn, you burn you burn, you burn, you burn... you burn

about

Harold's IGA Sandpoint, Idaho

Harold's IGA was a classic grocery store in Sandpoint. It was bulldozed to the ground to make room for progress. Now it's an indie folk-rock band with an ever-changing cast of characters. Ben Olson writes the songs. Cadie Archer plays a multitude of instruments. Josh Vitalie pounds the drums. It's fun.

This band doesn't take itself too seriously. Nor should it.
