Shotwell

Celery Beef And Iron

Originally named Shotwell Coho, this band consisted of Jim Broustis from Strawman and Arron Cometbus from an array of bands including Crimpshrine and Pinhead Gunpowder. This line up however did not work out and in '95, with a new lineup, Jim decided to rename the band Shotwell. After lots of touring and songwriting, the band settled down and recorded their first album 'Celery Beef And Iron' with Arron on drums once again, although I'm pretty sure this is the final time that Arron played drums for the band.
