CityBeat's write-up:

(Cincinnati) Art Rock
And How is the latest musical foray
from everyone's favorite prolific
eccentric, Kendall Bruns, An active
multimedia artist in Cincinnati for
almost a decade, he joined forces
with Jane Carver a year ago to create
this quirky but effective project. Don't
let the whimsical implementation fool
you -- the song writing has real teeth.
Dig it: Fiery Furnaces, Dresden Dolls,
uncontrived duets (Ezra Waller)

The iLove 2cd / book is available for purchase from the Tokyo Rose Records website. It's a great collection of the original love songs that were performed at the iLove show in February. And How's contribution is the song, Like a Legend. Jane and Kendall can also be heard singing along on the Haywards track. The book is 88 pages of local Cincinnati music pics dating back to the 70s - cool!

08.06.05
We've got a new show coming up - Friday, Aug 19th with Lovely Crash and The Turnbull AC's at Northside Tavern. We'll be playing first. Don't forget about the iLove cd/book release at the Southgate House tonight.

08.03.05
The Midpoint Music Festival 2005 schedule has been announced. We'll be playing at 10p.m. on Thursday, September 22, at Crush on Main with The Green Room, My Latex Brain and Humans Bow Down.

Last night was fantastic - thanks to all who came! Jason Webley had everyone singing and spinning around.

And How has a song on the upcoming iLove cd on Tokyo Rose Records. The cd release is Aug 6th at the Southgate House. Our contribution is "Like a Legend", which we wrote for the iLove show back in Feb. We're not playing the show but a bunch of local luminaries will be AND they're all playing covers of other local bands. This is also in conjunction with the release of a new photo book, "where the kids are going tonight", which documents the local music scene.

We should have some new shows announced soon...

07.07.05
We added some pictures from the 80s Pop... Rocks show (thanks Sarah, Carin and Jason!) and the poster for the August 1st Northside Tavern show with Jason Webley (Seattle).

06.27.05
We apologize about the confusion regarding the show on Saturday. We found out at 5p.m. on the day of the show that there was miscommunication between the venue and Aqualung regarding local support. We were given the option of performing in an extremely limited capacity (including no purcussion of any kind allowed) and chose not to perform under those circumstances. We were told they would make it clear at the door that we were not playing. Sorry to anyone who was inconvenienced.

On the brighter side - 80s Pop... Rocks was Awesome - we perfomed "Never Tear Us Apart" by INXS. thanks to Matt Reynolds for playing saxophone! If anyone has pictures please send them our way. Next show is August 1st at Northside Tavern with Jason Webley (Seattle).

06.25.05
And How is no longer playing the Aqualung show tonight so don't go expecting to see us.

06.22.05
We are playing two HUGE shows this weekend - Friday we're one of 40 bands who will be playing at 80s Pop... Rocks II - each band does an 80s cover and the money raised goes to AVOC (AIDS Volunteers of Cincinnati). If last year was any indication it'll be packed and crazy fun. Plus, this will be the first time we've played a cover AND we'll have a special guest musician performing with us.

Saturday we're opening for Aqualung at the Mad Hatter in Covington. Aqualung is here all the way from the UK where he's been highly successful ever since his song "Strange & Beautiful (I'll Put A Spell On You)" was featured in a Volkswagon commercial. He's currently touring in support of his fist US release on Columbia Records. You might have seen him recently on Last Call with Carson Daly and The Late Late Show. Also performing will be Cary Brothers who have a song on the Garden State Soundtrack. CityBeat has a big article about the show in the issue that came out today... http://www.citybeat.com/2005-06-22/music.shtml

Check out details on the shows page. After this weekend we don't have any shows scheduled until August.

06.14.05
And How is playing the ROCK*N*FASHION SHOW this Saturday at Alchemize with an amazing lineup of bands (MOTH, Fizzgig, Cari Clara, Clabbergirl, 500 Miles To Memphis, Goose)! We're playing first so be sure to get there by 9pm.

There's an article in the new issue of CityBeat about the show at Southgate tomorrow. And here's a review of the most recent Why? cd from Pitchfork.

04.27.05
We're playing Saturday in the Southgate Ballroom with Why? and Le TechnoPUSS13s.

Why? is described as, "a folk-pop, indie-hop, sometimes-mustachioed, psych-rock quartet that operates out of the Oakland Bay Area under the bold banner of the anticon collective." They all have Cincinnati roots and have gone on to success elsewhere - let's show them some hometown hospitality.

Le TechnoPUSS13s is a 2 piece art-damaged technopop band known for their daring live performances and gross abuse of technology.

The iLove show last weekend was a lot of fun - it was nice to share the stage with so many of my local favorites. We've got another new show to add to the list – on March 15th we'll be playing at The Comet with a band from New york called The Black Spoons. AND check out the poster for the show at Crush 4/18 with Fizzgig.

02.11.05
Last night we practiced with David Enright and like 12 other people for his iLove song. Sounded good. I think he's going to help us do some recording which is good because we've been struggling with it a bit. Anyway, the show on Saturday should be a lot of fun - we're playing at around 11 and then we'll be singing with David (The Haywards) 2 songs later.

02.08.05
A couple of new shows have been confirmed and we're playing with some great bands...

I'll post more info about each of these shows as we get closer. The iLove show is this Saturday at Southgate House! Also, we're trying to upload a song on here now but we're encountering technical difficulties with myspace - be patient!

01.31.05
We had a lot of fun Saturday night - thanks go out to the Haywards and the Lab Partners! We have a bunch of shows on the horizon...

01.18.05
Last night we worked on a new song for the Valentine's show at Southgate. Jane had a bad cut on her thumb from washing broken dishes but with a big fat bandage we pushed forward... I think Nats is gonna make some t-shirts for us.
