4. book shows.
5. write new songs.

The Parents are Emily, Sara, Sean, and Chris.

We're a four-piece indie pop/rock band of Chicago-expats who used to play in the same music scene from 2000-2007. We promote our shows, set up quickly, and only rarely leave equipment behind.

We've got a (particularly fun and crowded) Tuesday at El Rio, a Sunday BBQ at The Stork Club, a Saturday benefit at The Starry Plough for the Children's Hospital of Oakland Patient Care Fund, and a Halloween show at the Stork Club (as the Mamas and the Papas), and an awesome Friday playing with the Old-Fashioned Way at The Hemlock Tavern under our belt.

Emily (ex-Passerines) plays guitar/bass.

Sara (ex-Go Away Please Stay, Passerines, Starlister, Health&Beauty) plays keyboard/melodica.

Sean (ex-First Coat, the 68s, the Paraleisural Uninsurance Temp Agency, Fulton Pyser) plays bass/guitar.

Chris (ex-Cola Wars, Millimeters Mercury, Zinc Finger & the Major Groove) plays drums.

Of course we have a myspace profile!
(it's still listed under our old band name, though)
