NERDNITE @ DC9, March 13
March 28, 2010
Nerdnite is a monthly event where scholarly types give lectures on what they're working on (this time - flys, birdsex, and race) and a band plays between talks while the smart people work it on the dance floor. We are really psyched to do this! Get advance tickets here, because Nerdnite is a hot seller!

Well, it's been a busy few months, recording some new songs, writing, and sampling many a fine brown liquid. But it's time to collect ourselves and return to New York: November 7 at the Brooklyn Bowl, in fact. We're sharing a bill with The XYZ Affair, which is going to be fun. Come on out! Don't pretend like you don't know anyone in Brooklyn. Bring them too. We'll rule some faces. This show costs zero dollars, btw!!!
Thank You, Fort Reno People!
July 14, 2009
Hey, we had the best time ever at Fort Reno. Thanks especially to all those dancers, especially the guy who was breadancing on the turf - hope your back is doing ok today, dude! Come see us at DC9 on July 30 if you can. It's 18+, but we'll try and do an all ages show in DC ASAP.
Hello, Fort Reno!
July 12, 2009
(OK, this isn't really *news* news, but more of a reminder.) Even though we're spending the summer writing new songs, we hope to see you out at Fort Reno on Monday night (7/13).
See a FREE rock show, grab a drink, enjoy a beautiful summer night and still be home by 9:30. Not too shabby. Just make sure you come up and say hi.
DC Summer
June 12, 2009
Hey there. Just a quick note -- we've been busy in the studio recording the new songs and writing some others. Summer's a pretty busy time for us all (new jobs, website re-skin, houses, vacations, etc), so apologies that we've been absent from your stages, DC.
We're going to post some new stuff here soon (for your free enjoyment), so come back early, come back often.
Oh, and did I mention new shows? Yes yes, y'all.
We Evoke Dirty Projectors and Elvis Costello
April 2, 2009
According to this review of our show in the Onion/AV Club's new local website Decider That sounds like a pretty cool combination to us!
BYT Listening Party
March 12, 2009
So the blog Brightest Young Things did a little feature about us where we talk about the songs on our EP in gory detail. Check it out and leave a comment about us in the blogosphere.
Road Weekend
February 27, 2009
Hi. Poor But Sexy here. As I write this, we're driving out of Maryland, listening to a mix called "Durty Durst 1" (made by our friend Eric) featuring The Isley Brothers, Earth Wind and Fire, Jill Scott, D'Angelo, and a curious preponderance of tracks from the soundtrack for Love Jones. Yeah, Eric rolls like that.
Looking forward to a weekend of shows (Chicago and Pittsburgh, Saturday and Sunday), though to be honest right now it feels a little more like the beginning of a full-fledged tour than a short weekend jaunt out west.
So this here website is a new thing, as are the t-shirts, and the online store, and some photos. The t-shirts are gen-u-ine American Apparel and each shirt comes with a coupon for free Poor But Sexy downloads, so be sure to get yours. Who doesn't want a shirt that says "Poor But Sexy" anyway?
