Puerto Muerto

Singer Christa Meyer and instrumentalist Tim Kelley began collaborating after a chance meeting on the street. They soon were married, and started crafting uniquely smarmy and intelligent acoustic rock that covered everything from alternative country to German cabaret to Spanish folk. The band's bizarre sounds were eventually brought to the attention of Fire Records, who released their debut Your Bloated Corpse Has Washed Ashore in 2002. ~ Bradley Torreano
