Orlando Weekly previews Daymoths show:

“In the mid-aughts, when indie hip-hop mavens Slug and Murs had crossed over just enough to propel Slug’s rap imprint (Rhymesayers) and a Warner Bros. record deal for Murs, the pair co-founded a label called Women Records. The intent was to release music by the bands in their respective cities – Los Angeles and Minneapolis – that they’d come to know and love but weren’t exactly going to benefit from their hip-hop-minded contacts. One of those bands was the Hold Steady. Another was quirky Minnesota outfit Vox Vermillion, whose bassist, Ollie Dodge, and cellist, Emily Dantuma, currently comprise the duo Daymoths. Taking front and center on keyboards and vocals, Dantuma reveals a voice and presence with genuine heft and charisma in contrast with the now-defunct Vox Vermillion’s lyrical airiness, while her husband, Dodge, who moved behind the drum kit for this project, supports Dantuma harmonically as much as rhythmically.” – Justin Strout

Something you still won’t know after reading this interview: they have an urban chicken coop.

Creative Loafing previews Daymoths show in Tampa

“St. Paul, Minn. indie pop rock two-piece Daymoths produces airy, up-tempo songs imbued with haunting sweetness via the piano and organ melodies and high piping vocals of Emily Dantuma, all carried on the sturdy rhythms of drummer/husband Ollie Dodge. Last year saw the release of their first full-length, Back In Time, and they hit town on the latest round of tour dates in support.”

Press: Cleveland Rock and Roll reviews Thee Swank Bastards show

Cleveland Rock and Roll reviews Thee Swank Bastards show:

“What I wasn’t expecting was just how much fun these guys are to listen to and to spend time around. They are spectacular at including the audience in their shtick which includes a heavy dose of somewhat vulgar yet totally hilarious jokes that get passed between Jesse and Shaun between songs. It’s obvious that these guys have been steeped in the Las Vegas culture over the last decade or so that they’ve been performing. The songs that Thee Swank Bastards perform have the wonderful immediacy of surf music with its screeching guitar riffs and pulsating bass and with a playfulness that is frankly lacking in so much of today’s music.”
