Kinsella's brother are kind if impressive: Cap n jazz, Joan of arc, American Football, Owen, Owls, Make believe. These chicagoans are like monuments in the history of the indie/emo scene.
American football is Mike Kinsella (Owen, CapnJazz, Joa) and Lamos (The geese, Dms) who started to play with the johnson's bros under the name of The One Up Downstairs. These dudes went on to form another act. There come Steve Holmes. The band, who never had a bass player, beacame more of a studio project, displaying an incredible and touching music. Damn those tunes (from their only 2 releases) are so beautiful.
Mike Kinsella explained the band's name as follows: My girlfriend had been in Dublin, Ireland visiting her family. One of the things she brought home for me was a flyer for a Chicago Bears exhibition game that said: "Come see American Football, featuring the most overpaid athletes in the world." Something about that statement made me think of rock bands, most of whom are the most overpaid musicians in the world. When I suggested it as a name, the other guys thought it was dumb. Still, for whatever reason, we kept it.
