About
Sacramento's wry alt-rock outsiders — John McCrea, Vince DiFiore (the trumpet player you definitely heard) and rotating membership. Vibraslap, mariachi trumpet, deadpan vocal delivery, monosyllabic blues-rock guitar. 'The Distance' (1996), 'Short Skirt/Long Jacket' (2001), 'Never There' — a band that sounds like nobody else and refuses to. They run their own Pleasant Hill solar-powered studio and put out 'Showroom of Compassion' in 2011 as the first solar-recorded album to debut at #1 in the U.S. Stubbornly themselves, sustainably weird.
