We Govern We touts an unconventional background; their members hail from places as far apart as Alexandroupolis, Greece, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and California via Prague and Athens. Anna Karakalou (lead vocals) and Panos Scourtis (lead guitar) cut their teeth in the music industry with various projects before finally finding themselves as fellow band members of internationally acclaimed alternative electronic rockers Sigmatropic, where they collaborated with Carla Torgerson of the Walkabouts, opened for acts like Moby, Sonic Youth and Nick Cave, and eventually felt ready to do their own thing. The road to the West Coast saw them shooting two music videos, getting offers from various record labels, and arriving to their current incarnation with John Boutin (drums) and Adrian Burke of Ojai (bass).

The featured song here is "Fields," from their debut album, "Reznor's Orchid." Pay attention, so you can say you knew of them before they hit it big. After all, if Daniel Ash (Bauhaus, Tones On Tail, Love & Rockets), who is guiding the production, thinks they are good enough it probably means you should, too.

We Govern We will perform live on Sunday, June 5^th at Libbey Park in Ojai during Day of Music.
