THE INJURED PARTIES
The Injured Parties played their debut gig in February 2005. Led by former Post Office songwriter-guitarist, Larry O. Dean, the IP’s came together after Dean’s previous band, the ambitious, avant-pop sextet, The Me Decade, imploded.
Looking to streamline the violin and viola-driven sound of TMD, Dean recruited bassist Jimmy De Lauriea (Bugga-ohng, Shiver, Amelia Glass) and drummer Mike Ebersohl (Hickory Ridge, Earthshine, Medicine Wheel, Axis, Vision, Four on the Floor, Payton and The Peers, The Veil, The Yellowhammers, Double Wide, Mistreated, Honey Don’t, Chuck Cox and the Johnson Principle, The Nashvillains, Kurt Crandall and True Story) from the vibrant Chicago music underground, creating a more classic ‘power trio’ line-up.
With rich three-part harmonies, chugging electric guitar, deft rhythms and Dean’s ‘songs and sardonica’ approach to composition, The Injured Parties’ music draws inspiration from the melody and verve of vintage Kinks, the squonk of Neil Young’s Crazy Horse, the blissful feedback of The Velvet Underground, the psychedelic twang of The Byrds, and the hard-edged pop of The Posies.
Commemorating their one year anniversary, The Injured Parties headed into the studio to record their debut album with engineer Jeff Hamand (Souled American, Tallulah, Diane Izzo), mixing in Nashville with producer Mark Nevers (Lambchop, The Clientele, Calexico, Bobby Bare Jr.). Fun with a Purpose was released in July 2009.
In 2013, the band contributed a track to Starry Eyed, a tribute album to UK powerpop band, The Records. They are currently recording their second full-length, to be released later this year. Stay tuned!”

THE HAMBURGLARS
“If you strip the Hamburglars of their hilarious gimmick, you still have a damn good garage rock band that is easily up to par with any current band of their ilk. Add back in the Hamburglar gimmick though and you have one of the most clever singles to ever come out of that genre since The Mummies. ”
