he Daily Aztec: Can you tell us about the formation of the band and how you guys settled on the name? Joe Michelini: I started the band by myself solo-acoustic and picked the name from a song called “The Trouble With River Cities” by a band that used to be called Pela, but are now called We Are Augustines. But I was always so close to that music that I thought of it as an extension of my life. And honestly, I just met people at different shows. Some of us knew each other in high school but no one was really close, it happened a bunch of different ways but it eventually worked itself out, Courtesy of Chris Loupos
