Bio:
EXERCISE is a band that materialized in the basements of St. Louis in the summer of 2008. Their music resembles something out of a sound effects library with fingers that love to play guttural melodies on your heartstrings. They combine the known with the unknown, the can’t-put-your-finger-on with the warm and visceral familiar. In the face of much disapproval from their own city, EXERCISE began when their previous band and praised local favorites Berlin Whale ended. But it didn’t take long for 3 of the remaining members to emerge from the dank basements with something up their sleeves. In less than a year’s time, EXERCISE was nominated for the Best New Band in St. Louis. Their distinct sound and stage set-up is reminiscent of Dr. Frankenstein’s laboratory. Each show is a catchy experiment in its own pulsing way, and they want you to be the guinea pig. They recently recorded their music with Ryan Wasoba of local legends So Many Dynamos, and will be releasing their meticulously crafted debut full-length album to the world in the summer of 2009.
