What you should know:
On April 5th, 2008, STNNNG celebrated our 5th anniversary of live performances by playing to a packed room at the Empty Bottle in Chicago, IL. Our first performance, 5 years earlier, was to a lesser-filled room at Christiansen's Big V's Saloon in the St. Paul Midway, St. Paul, MN. A lot of the events that have occurred during that period of time have been documented on this website - there are photographs, video evidence, press write-ups, reviews, show histories, and lots of other shit. You should check it out.

We have released two full-length albums on the Minneapolis-based Modern Radio Record Label, a pair of split 7"s, and a handful of compilations.

There used to be an old biography here that detailed a lot more about the background of our band, such as how we were formed and what went into the recording of our records, and our original goals, but to be honest, that was really old and needed to come down. If you're really interested in that stuff, either as general inquiry or as background for a piece you're writing, you should get in touch.

What I WILL tell you is that we all used to be in previous bands, we've all been friends for longer than this band has been around, and getting the 5 of us together to make records and play live shows has been a fucking pleasure. We're working on a new record. If you want to read about the old ones, go here or here. Somewhere in between, you should come see us live. And then tell your friends about us. And after you're done with that, check out our friends and tell your friends about them, too. There's too much cool shit going on not to share.
