Formed in early 2000, the band is the brain child of McCartney sounding Mike Berg, who writes, sings and plays the lead guitar. The original band was made up of Jon Panek (bass), and Russ Fletcher (drums). Since then it has been through countless line up changes, including at one point Brian Kirk on bass up until his move back to Atlanta. Jon Panek returned on bass and Peter Salvador began playing guitar, singing back up vocals and writing with Mike. Jim Dorschel is new drummer. Their music is heavily influenced by Andy Partridge of xtc, Elliott Smith, Jon Brion, Jellyfish, and Jason Falkner. It is retro british pop invasion with an indie sound with a lot of melodic harmonies. Band is based in Denver, Colorado. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/themumbles">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
