| About: | Think garage, but complex. Think soul, but relentless. If you've ever lost your shit to "19th Nervous Breakdown," you'll be in good company spending an evening with The Founders. Frequently seen at PRN, Vollrath and other assorted bacchanalia. Now in glorious Technicolor, beamed straight into your hi-fi set! --PRN "Sleeper Band," 2010 |

In which the soul of Otis Redding is summoned, strapped to a stone slab, and carried to the top of a pyramid where an electric lady tears out his heart! A one-way trip to Xibalba, armed with axes, trumpets and sticks against the worst the underworld can throw at us.

So while we are combining everything, we are also just enjoying the epic minimalist outfit we have cultured. Children, if this don't get you moving, then I honestly don't know what will.

So Kara came back to hang out with us [and have Nick record some demos for her] and we figured, why not, we have the equipment. Let's make the old trio sound like it was s'posda. You're welcome.

With time and a little experience come much improved results. This is the sound of practices, new songs, et cetera. Officially, these are demos. Word on the street is, these live demos kick the old recordings to the curb and sleep in their bed.

Though not a Founders album, it does contain two Founders tracks. This is actually the soundtrack to the Indy student film “Free Wall,” which was filmed in downtown Indianapolis.

2008, Middle Class Records,
The first Founders LP, Exile in Charon, was recorded in their drummer's living room through borrowed mics and a borrowed mixing board onto a free computer program over the course of a summer. Nick and studio engineer Alan Newman [of Wienerwald and Persistent Vision] pored over the dozen tracks until they were just right, or at least as right as they could be under the circumstances. They scrounged together $200 to pay for the studio time, which was given right back as a loan to have 100 copies pressed.
More could be said, but you're better off just listening to the songs.

- I think The Founders are great. I like them.
- this is pretty cool Garage-ish stuff! Are you playing shows? Ever listen to the Pink Fairies? you should
