Home and Garden

A coalition of Cleveland avant-garde rock musicians, Home and Garden have been making interesting noises (on and off) for over 20 years. Home and Garden alumni include Scott Krauss, Tony Maimone, Jim Jones, Robert Wheeler, and Michele Temple - who have at various times played in incarnations of legendary post-punk group Pere Ubu (Krauss and Maimone played on the classic "Modern Dance" and "Dub Housing" LPs). Maimone has played with various alt-rock luminaries through the years including: Frank Black, They Might Be Giants, Bob Mould, and Jon Langford.Stylisitically, Home and Garden's music has been all over the map veering from airy, ambient sound collages to improv jazz grooves to garage-rock ballast to electronic pop - the only constant being a commitment to interesting music.History and Geography out NOW on Exit Stencil Recordings--"Imagine literate.
