Live performances range from emotionally-charged journeys to infectious dance tunes. Connection between the audience and the band is paramount. The band has played hundreds of shows and are releasing their fifth full-length album, Excavator, in summer 2015, which they will support on tour through the spring of 2016.

Stephaniesĭd songs have appeared in curious places. Showtime’s Nurse Jackie, a Weather Channel special about windsurfing, an award-winning short film “The Red Helmet”, a Cesare Paciotti Italian jewelry commercial, an upcoming Sony horror video game's ironic slasher scene, and “Unmistakably Love” was featured by Paste Magazine.
