Team Dresch - does it seem like a dream where you thought it was real but then you realize it was just a dream but then OH SHIT it IS real!!!! That's how we feel too, being that we're all a solid decade (plus) older and (wiser) somehow we found ourselves coming back together to play, and write, music together again. What started as a "reunion" show at homoagogo in Olympia Washington summer 2004 sparked the beginning of a new beginning for our band.
So here we are, 2007 (huh?) and we're playing shows, writing songs, coming up with new t-shirt designs, full functional band. For reals. Here's our mission (statement) now that many years have passed and we finally have fully developed brain matter. (This matters) : To write amazing songs, to put on a show that feels like lightning, super cell clouds, and retains the connection with our fans/audience/friends that feels like the old days. We want to keep some of "the old days" but move into 2007, colony collapse disorder, wars, babies, you know it all just keeps on keeping on.
Team Dresch is writing new songs for a new record, to be releases ASAP in 2008, and we'll be touring sporadically to try and get those new songs TIGHT.
SO come see us!!! We are better at playing the old songs than we were back in the day, and we'll be playing new songs and feeling the love. OH SHIT and almost forgot, TEAM DRESCH are all straight nowâ?¦.KIDDING!!!! we R all goldstars still, unless someone is a liar.

No disrespect to The National, great band, but TD is a religious experience. You'll remember why live music matters.

Didn't TD open for Sleater-Kinney years ago?

i might be wrong, but i believe i saw them open for bikini kill once, and i left the place with a smile on my face.

Could be, they were label mates for a few years and they all came from the same scene. S-K was always good, but took time to grow into their live dominance. TD came out the box like gang busters, and produced 2 of the seminal albums of the era and genre. By the time S-K left the scene last year their live shows were legendary, believe it or not TD was even better during their brief time, absolutely peerless.
