Melancholy singalong punk. Combines the darker and more experimental aspects of bands like the Dead Kennedys and WARSAW & other late 70’s UK art punk with the anthemic choruses of LA’s Youth Brigade yet sounding nothing like any of those bands. Put these guys on a bill with the Stitches, Geisha Girls, Manikin and the Distraction and the art punks will go nuts!

The Speds
Pre-Observers, some of these songs ended up being on Observers records.
Red Dons
Born from the ashes of the Observers. Same songs, new name.
"New band featuring Doug from the Observers and Justin from the Clorox Girls doing anthemic punk similar to where the Observers left off. Expect a 7” in late February and some touring in 2007.
Here's a shitty photo I took of Red Dons playing at a bar last year:
Clorox Girls played too:
The Revisions
In 2006, Justin Maurer of the Clorox Girls asked Douglas Burns of the Observers and Red Dons to perform an acoustic set at one of Maurer’s book readings for, Don’t You Take Your Life. Burns, along with fellow Red Dons members Hajji Husayn and Derek Skokan, adapted songs he wrote while in the Observers and Speds into an acoustic format for the set. These adaptations proved to be popular amongst the group’s friends and they were encouraged to continue performing. That is how the Revisions formed.
