The Dont’s spend several hours a week improvising in their studio in the Bay View area of San Francisco, retaining hundreds of hours of experimental recordings since forming in 2003. After their sophomore self-release INNER EL CAMINO hit the streets in early 2007, The Dont’s were selected to showcase at CMJ 2007 in New York as well as Noise Pop 2008, 2009.

Recorded predominantly at John Vanderslice’s Tiny Telephone, 2007’s INNER EL CAMINO features Tom Waits’ onetime horn virtuoso, Ralph Carney, as the band expanded their indie rock palate to incorporate jagged new-wave romps, crusty psychedelia and no-fi balladry. In April 2005, the band self-released MISC RADIO LEAKAGE, a binaurally recorded foray into the depths of love and commerce.

The Dont’s are presently mixing their third record, entitled THOSE DELICATE CHEMICALS, which is slated for a 2009 release.
