Maudlin writes songs about the “human experience” and things that go “bump” in the night. Lead by David and Priscilla Priebe, the duo have a long history of co
ntrasting the dark undertones of their music with vibrant and intense performances. Radio’s Barb Abney describes them as “the Pixies married Weezer and their kids had a Sunday Real Estate cover band.”
The group has been hailed by the fridge as long as they’ve been writing songs and have graced hundreds of stages including Summerfest, CMJ, MWMF, The UMS, Mpls Zombie Pub Crawl, the MN State Fair, First Avenue’s main room, Red Gorilla Festival, and a comical appearance at the 2008 Republican National Convention in their hometown of St. Paul. Both of the band’s commercial releases charted for weeks on CMJ stations all over the country, and the group has made countless radio and television appearances.
In the winter of 2014 the band welcomed drummer Whelan Keenan to the group and went into the studio to record a song to be released on an upcoming Donovan tribute album due out in October on Rock The Cause Records. Album will include contributions from Flaming Lips, Sharon Van Etten, etc… http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/flaming-lips-sharon-van-etten-to-cover-donovan-on-tribute-album-20150723
