Biography

Now operating in its 20th year, Lungfish is a progressive punk band based in Baltimore, Maryland. The band rose from the ashes of Reptile House, which featured Daniel Higgs, and later on Asa Osborne. All of their music has been released by the Washington, D.C. indie label Dischord except for their first LP, Necklace of Heads which was released by Simple Machines (it was later added to the CD release of Talking Songs for Walking by Dischord). Lungfish remains one of the most intense, strange, and dedicated bands in the music world, constantly repeating similar ideas over and over. They have developed an extremely loyal cult following across the nation and the globe with their sporadic, yet powerful live shows and enigmatic presence in the music world. Fans have been known to travel hundreds of miles to catch them in concert, which are usually held in fairly small venues and bars, and live visual and audio recordings are highly sought-after. This helps explain not only why they are the sole band not from the D.C. area to be put out by Dischord, but perhaps also why they were selected by their musical peers to perform at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival on two separate occasions (once by Tortoise, and once by Modest Mouse).
