Citizens Here And Abroad
Citizens Here and Abroad is an indie rock group from San Francisco, California, United States, that formed in 2002. Band history Citizens Here and Abroad was formed in 2002 when Adrienne Robillard and Dan Lowrie, following the breakup of their previous band Secadora, happened to move into an apartment across the street from Dealership drummer Chris Wetherell. Neighborly talking led to musical collaboration. Taking their name from a 1953 Girl Scout manual discovered on a bookshelf at a boozy Oakland house party, the trio cemented their lineup with Dealership bass player/vocalist Chris Groves. Their sound has been described as dreamy and cerebral. While their songs are built on catchy melodies, they don't tend to follow traditional verse-chorus-verse song structure, opting for a more experimental approach to composition.[] In 2004, their debut album, '' Ghosts of Tables and Chairs'' was released on Omnibus Records. The band toured the US and the UK in support of the album, and t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
