The Cornish in a Turtleneck?

Cornish in a Turtleneck is a band. These Cornishes play instruments; notably old Casio and Yamaha keyboards, electric guitars, a cheesy drum machine from 1987, a Game Boy, bass guitars, Jew's harps, really high falsetto vocals, and blissfull harmonies to create a quirky lo-fi psychedelic Pop sound that is more eclectic than a leprechan dressed in lingerie.

Michigan is the land of the Cornish reign. They formed in a town called Ypsilanti, 3 miles away from Ann Arbor and 27 miles from Detroit, when founding member Tim Schreiber bought a tascam 4-track in August 1997. His friend Eric Oakes ended up playing on the first of many recordings. Together they formed Cornish in a Turtleneck taking the name from a comment made about a friend's unusual attire on school picture day. Over the next year they recorded and released their first few home recordings. Pretty soon a friend named Juan Garcia came along and filled in on the bass boinger. They played their first live gig on April 25, 1998 at Vinyl Joes coffee House/record store in Ypsilanti. Since then they have recorded a ton of more music(Including an 12 minute Tape Tim made called 10 songs about Booties), and self released their own CD entitled "It's Broasted." In the summer of 2000 they released copies of "Another Mediterranean Taste Adventure" to the public. In the spring of 2001 their progressive-pop opus "A Manifestation of Delicate Things that go Beep" was also released. They also re-released the Booty tapes on a CD entitled "A Collection of 20 Songs about BOOTIES." Unfortunately their legacy has been cut short by the winds of change (we broke up and aren't playing live anymore) ...but their music will live on forever.......
