Biography
Omaha dance-punk band formed in the mid-1990s around singer Todd Fink and drummer Clark Baechle, first as Norman Bailer. On #Saddle Creek Records# they traded lo-fi guitars for synthesizers across 'Media', 'Blank-Wave Arcade' and the breakthrough 'Danse Macabre' in 2001, with guitarist Dapose sharpening their electronic sound. Later albums include 'Wet From Birth', 'Fasciinatiion', 'Doom Abuse' and the stripped-back 'Egowerk' in 2019.
