Their debut release was 1995’s Fun Trick Noisemaker (with Jim McIntyre on bass). Longtime drummer Hilarie Sydney left the band in 2006, performing her last show at the Athens Popfestival. Robert Schneider has side projects: Marbles, Ulysses, Thee American Revolution and a new kids music project under the name Robbert Bobbert & The Bubble Machine.

One of their most popular songs, “Signal In The Sky,” was created for and featured in episode 46 of The Powerpuff Girls. They are best known for their bright, catchy lyrics and 60s pop/rock sound that often provokes comparisons to The Beatles, ELO and The Beach Boys. Their major influences include The Velvet Underground and The Beach Boys. |
