Yes..the band has been around since 2005 or so..I just joined a few months ago after being a fan/friend for years. Its nice to be in a band that is drama free for once.
Such a strange story.."Due to an ink splodge on the back of the original artwork, the song "Silence Kid" has become erroneously known as "Silence Kit". This misnomer persisted when designer Mark Ohe printed it onto the back of the reissue Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain: LA's Desert Origins, despite the interior artwork showing the correct name in print several times, including written in Stephen Malkmus' own handwriting."
