The Riffbrokers

From Seattle Formed by Nick and Heather Millward in Boise, Id in 1999. Moved to Seattle following year- with many personnel rotations around this nucleus. Toured the US in 2002- much of the west coast 2003-2006. Currently Nick- lead vocals, guitar; Heather- bass, vocals; Chris Cline on lead guitar; and Dirk Lebsack on drums, vocals. Described as powerpop twang- sounds like a midwest band from the '80s trying to sound like a British Invasion band. Many are reminded of Elvis Costello, Tom Petty, the Replacements.
