Win Win Winter are appearing at this year's BANG Music Festival along side Smashing Pumpkins, Kanye West, Spoon, The Bravery, The Roots, Explosions in the Sky, Chromeo, The Riverboat Gamblers, Automatic Loveletter, and more.

This St. Pete five-piece does the Ramones thing better than anyone in the Bay: melodic three-chord blasts augmented with spot-on fills and spiky solos; propulsive rhythms that burrow into the hips; irreverent, witty lyrics delivered with a seditious sneer; and frontman Dave Reeder’s manic stage presence. Check out their freshly minted debut full-length, Evacuate, and don’t you dare miss ’em when they play dives like The Emerald. - Creative Loafing - The Loafies / Best of the Bay 2007

The fairytale has taught us to beware and take note of things that come in threes. The logical progression follows that once is happenstance, twice is coincidence but thrice dictates a pattern. When things repeatedly show themselves we follow the thread to the tangled end and this is how I happened upon Win Win Winter.

Dave Reeder is the typical office drone: a frumpy, white male. One might even call him a company man. After all, he has been a page designer at the St. Petersburg Times for 23 years. When Reeder shuffles into work, it's difficult to imagine the receptionist thinking of him as anything other than an anonymous timecard-puncher. But Dave Reeder has a dark side. And you gotta pay a cover charge to see it.
