Though when I got the CD, the album art had me convinced that they were called American Dinner.

It's really addictive stuff, I've listened to it about 3 times since I got it Thursday. The balladry of Tom Waits, Johnny Cash, Nick Cave, combined with "odd" instrumentation. Accordian (I love it when Accordian is used well), Violin, bass and drums. Lots of Waltz songs.

They also do a kickin' cover of "The Toys Go Winding Down" by Primus. I love it because they really make it their own. I don't like when bands cover songs note for note. They make it... dare I say... creepier?

All and all, there is a brooding/old timey vibe. I'm not that great at writing reviews, they are a kickin' band. I suggest looking into them.
