Dr. Powerful formed in late 2004, when guitarist/vocalist Gordon Anderson discovered he was living up the street from the drummer from Polvo, Eddie Watkins, and about lost it. Even though Eddie had a big boy job and a family, Gordon pestered him to jam with them with a feverish perseverance. He finally capitulated, and they enlisted Daniel to join them on bass. At this time Dr. Powerful played covers (Devo, Wire, Eno, Pavement), not really planning to do anything. Then they were asked to play a show, did it as a three-piece, and had so much fun that they decided to write their own songs. Daniel moved to second guitar, we enlisted another guy named Daniel to play bass, and churned out some jams. Bass-player Daniel was ejected from band, enter Andy. They taught him the songs, wrote a few more, played in New York, recorded the album last fall, and here we are!
