We played the Kennett High School Afterprom Party, which was after the Kennett High prom, on April 23. We went on around 12:30, and again around 2:30, am. A good time was had by all, but Mark broke a string 3 songs into the second set. Since the bass tar is a little unique, the rest of the set was cancelled and we had to be content with gambling away "demon dollars" for the rest of the night. Full description of this, and other shows, on the past shows page
Real Audio and mp3's are on our very own audio pageAbout Us
US Consists of Mark Chadwick and Jonas Oesterle, both from the amazing town of Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, sometimes joined by guest players including the much fabled saxaphone girl.
Hell, I don't know how to describe the music, Mark says it's crazy mixes of Primus and Local H. That's pretty close, but then you've also got a little Rage Against the Machine somewhere in there. Only we don't usually talk about political upheval. I mean, we advocate it and all, but it's not our focus. We prefer to talk about Camels, and Tea, and Blueberries. If you wanna hear it, go to the audio page. Mark plays bass-tar (A 3-string hybrid of a bass and a guitar). His bass-tar has been described as "the stupidest-looking thing I've ever seen", and also been the subject of such compliments as "What the hell is THIS?" from local hero Ben Carter. Jonas plays drums. Zap, Bam, Boom, Crash, you know....drums. Us has all sortsa fun times playing all over the place, at people's houses, American Legion Halls, Planet Trog (hell yeah!) and Jonas's Attic.

Us is available for stuff that we can get to in the Dragon Wagon, our mobile of choice for hauling stuff. We can get to a lot of places, mostly anywhere that's within 3 hrs of Kennett Square, PA. Kennett Square's about an hour south of Philadelphia, so that should help. Places near us include West Chester, Wilmington, Newark, and Bucktown. Plus smaller towns that are near those towns.
