Scott Yoder and Brendhan Bowers made plenty of noisy racket in the local
garages and teen centers growing up on Vashon Island. They moved across
the Puget Sound to Seattle and booked their first tour as The Pharmacy in
2003 and have kept the show pretty much on the road ever since. In 2006 the
original bass/synth player left and classically trained pianist and fellow Vashon
kid Stefan Rubicz joined on piano. Since then they’ve transformed from
the synth-heavy overdrive of their 2005 debut album B.F.F. through the drizzly
sunshine of the Overcast Summer 7� at last landing on the off-kilter
psychedelic pop of Choose Yr Own Adventure. Replete with epic instruÂ
mentation - viola, violin, cello, harpsichord and horns all make an appearance
- Choose Yr Own Adventure has been years in the making, re-vamped re-
recorded and re-written over time.
They have played Bumbershoot, the Capitol Hill Block Party, every club in
town and every basement in the country. They have played with the Moldy
Peaches and toured with Kimya Dawson (as her opening and backing band),
Jeffrey Lewis, Matt & Kim and Japanther. If they could live on tour then they
would.
A Euro-only split 7� with Japanther (recorded while they were on tour
together) is being mixed right now.
Words on The Pharmacy:
"The Pharmacy is that rarest of creatures- a pop rock band that delivers itâ
€™s songs via genuine comÂpositional talent... This is The Beatles at their
best, The Killers with 10 times the attention to detail and one-tenth the
darkness, the record every indie label waits for..."
- Outburn Magazine
"...art-punk tunes comÂbined with earworm-worÂthy pop sensibilities and
rhyming Seuss-like lyrics ready for blissful sing-alongs."
- Spin
"...reliably fantastic sweaty dance parties...blasts of rough pop with some
basement punk atÂtitude still lingering."
- The Stranger
"...dance hooks and dirty punk together in a delightful kaleidoscope of
bandanas and pearl necklaces."
