Margot And The Nuclear So And So's

As with most good stories, the tale of Margot & the nuclear so and so's begins in the depths of poverty and despair, far from the bright lights of Hollywood, tucked away in a decaying neighborhood somewhere in the midwest. The kind of neighborhood where it's often cold and grey. The kind of neighborhood where you might expect a gang of hoodlums like the so and so's to take solace in recording pop songs and causing general mayhem. So, in the winter of 2004, in this decaying midwestern neighborhood, Richard Edwards and Andy Fry happened to meet at a pet store. Richard informed Andy that in a week's time, he would come up with a name, and that within 24 hours, he would be moving into Andy's house, as would a few other homeless musicians, who would now be playing in this collective. Over the next few months, the band set up a sort of socialist commune in their midwestern neighborhood and started recording their debut album, 'The dust of retreat.' People called their music sex-folk, or even urban folk, if they didn't like to say the word, 'sex.' It was a cacophony of electric and acoustic instruments that sat on top of rock-type rhythms.
