San Francisco based band that began around the nucleus of Scott Hirsch, Alex Stimmel, James Kim, and laconic lead vocalist M.C. Taylor and quickly became one of the leaders in the alt-country Americana scene.

After an initial noisier early incarnation the band began to take cues from the classic sounds of the early country-rock era incorporating a more sonically progressive and multi-faceted than the work of simple roots rock revivalists.

Their debut, 1999's Ventura Whites, garnered substantial praise with the independent press. With pedal steel player Tom Heyman and vocalist Wendy Allen, as well as former Byrd and Flying Burrito Brother Gene Parsons, guesting on 2001's Bless You, the group achieved cult acclaim.

The band returned in 2004 with their most acclaimed release to date, Witch Season which fully emcompassed their reach and was accompanied by a powerful EP - Dead Diamond River featuring contributions from Linda Thompson and M. Ward.

Current lineup is Scott Hirsch, James Kim, M.C. Taylor, Dan Carr.
