TOURISM, the band's debut album, is 30 minutes of british-infused guitar shenanigans perpetuated by Kansas City's most-oddly-constituted trio.
Jesse Kates writes, strums and sings.
Seasoned, trained, professional and generally too-skilled guitarist Dan Weller defies all logic by playing BASS.
Billy Brown, Zoologist, occasionally rips through his snare drum in live performances.
Yet hidden among the odd, catchy time signatures, melodic distortion and endless alternate (sexy) tunings beats a sincere heart.
These songs (like all songs) are half fiction, half truth, but in recounting the personal, Jesse hopes to make his experiences universal (or at least regional, whichever comes first.)
The band are also not afraid to 'chill' once in a while, as evidenced by the dreamy "Morning Pales" and the sparkling, nostalgic romp "Bottled in Glass."
Jesse Kates has written and recorded three other albums - two with instrumental indie wizards Whitford, and one solo sortie into live looping territory.
Jesse also plays in McCracken with Chuck Whittington of Namelessnumberheadman.
TOURISM was written, recorded and produced by the band and is packaged in nifty, environmentally-friendly transparent circle cases! This is a professionally mastered CD (not a CDR!)
