Founded in 1992 in Issaquah, Washington bursting on the indie scene with 1996’s This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About. They went on to achieve their first #1 album on the Billboard Top 200 in 2007 with their album We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank. The band released their seventh studio album with 2021’s The Golden Casket. Variety reviewed the album, saying “the group continues to make inscrutable and unpredictable music far removed from the pop charts.” The band has toured relentlessly since its founding, proving themselves to be one of the most consistent live acts today. They’ve most recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of Good News For People Who Love Bad News, which featured their hit “Float On” and earned them a Grammy Nomination, and the 25th anniversary of The Lonesome Crowded West. They subsequently toured on both albums, performing each from start to finish. They toured extensively with The Pixies and Cat Power in 2023 and 2024.
