When high school pals Matt Schellenberg and Bucky Driedger moved into a house on Lipton Street, dubbed in 'Liptonia,' and started making music, the outcome seemed uncertain. Two and a half years later they emerged with an 'earnest little pop-rock gem,' says Uptown Magazine.
The now five-piece band (rounded out by Mike Petkau, Darren Grunau and Terrell Froese) mines musical territory previously explored by Wilco, The Pets and The Beatles, but manages to carve their own sound. There's piano driven, horn laden pop tunes. There's guitars feeding back through rock and roll grooves. And there's subdued folk songs, wrapped up in noise.
