biography
the gifted children (western, ny)
the gifted children have more than 1000 recorded songs. their thus-far self-imposed isolation has allowed them to evolve naturally - they are now ready to share.
the gifted childen live show is a mixture of pop songwriting genius, expert knob-twiddling, self-flagellation, drunken banter and ridiculous dancing. approachable, self-deprecating and pedestal-hating, they become fast friends with their audiences.
they write compelling, slightly cryptic, poetic, off-kilter indie rock songs stripped of the bloat that makes so much music boring.
