Biography

In 2000, Dischord records signed two unique new bands that both embodied the sound of their forefathers while pushing the boundaries of Dischord-style rock to new arenas. Q and Not U, formed from ex-members of Elusive, John Davis, Harris Klahr and Chris Richards, were the more straightforward and enigmatic of the two (Faraquet being only slightly on the more technical end). Their full-length debut, No Kill No Beep Beep, proved their ability to write complex yet catchy rock songs with quite a bit of repeat value. Through extensive touring, they began to cement a die-hard fan base with their live shows characterized by wild and upbeat good times for all. In early 2002, bassist Matt Borlik left the band for artistic reasons. They continued without him as a three-piece and released the slightly more offbeat single "On Play Patterns" later that year. Q and Not U didn't waste much time; tour dates planned for North America, Europe and Japan coincided the band's third Ian MacKaye-produced full-length, Different Damage into early 2003. The Greatest appeared in fall 2004. ~ Blake Butler, Rovi

    S-o-f-t p-y-r-a-m-i-d-s e-v-a-p-o-r-a-t-e at daylight.
    In-ter-na-tionally fa-shioned, like d-i-sease.
    Pat-terns a-l-w-a-y-s yes, maybe no.
    This soft is bulding the softest buildings.
    This soft is raising the softest ceilings.

    the way the hair frames
    your face
    drink H2O, breathe O2.
    the way the lawn frames
    your home

    Lyrics
    it's the fashion self informed versus mr.
    navy-blue-and-black.
    it's the fashion we contract.
    avocado in the neckline of the swimsuit matched just right
    with the vitamins in the pocket of the swimming trunks.

    Lyrics
    Everyday up at the hospital people go in and out animals in and out.
    They live together in the hospital.
    They share positions now.
    That's how they're living now.
    Everday up in the hospital people and animals all waiting around.

    Lyrics
    dear wonder people, do you think we've met?
    i wonder where, i wonder what was said.
    oh wonder people, how do you set such wonderful examples for young wonder people?
    their future's always brighter.
    old wonder people, their burden's always lighter.
