Drink Me Biography

drink-me
  • Years Active: 1990s
  • Genre: Country

Being dubbed as "the quietest rock and roll ever made, " Drink Me originally started as a drum and guitar noise duo in 1986 before members Mark Amft and Wynne Evans stripped down to their acoustical guitars a few years later. With the accompaniment of the accordion, tambourine, kazoo and other instruments that require no electricity, Drink Me took on their laid back minimal approach to country, folk, rock and jazz on their 1992 self-titled debut album, courtesy of Bar/None Records. With a single entitled "Cherry Pie" that followed in 1993 (not to be confused with the Warrant classic under the same name) and a five song EP on New York's Hello Recording Club the next year, Drink Me's second full-length "Sleep" came out in 1995 with a number of theme songs that revolve around everyone's favorite activity when the lights go out: getting a little shut eye. ~ Mike DaRonco, Rovi
