"Knockin farts / Breaking hearts / Doing chicks / Whacking our dicks / We know we suck / Quack like a duck / We can't even play / We wish we'd go away" These words, taken from the brilliant "We Are Re-Ree," sum up, in many ways, the genius and glory that has chosen to call itself Re-Ree. Re-Ree was formed in the eighth grade by Andrew Kilpatrick, Pat Herald, and Conor to play the prestigious Longfellow middle school talent show, where it was kicked off after playing only two songs. After this discouraging setback, the band went on an extended hiatus until the summer of 2000, when they confiscated an ill-gotten 4-track tape recorder from Mikey of Mod Flanders Conspiracy. Suddenly inspired, remaining members Andrew and Conor decided to revive Re-Ree for a recording project, bringing in drummer John and guitarist Matt to record the Morocco EP. The following summer Re-Ree was entered in a battle of the bands sponsored by Jaxx nightclub. An entire summer went by without any preparation as a band, and the same Mikey whose 4-track was confiscated sabotaged Re-Ree's efforts by telling Jaxx that the group was "not serious." Fortunately the club was again convinced to allow Re-Ree to play, and play it did. After a single weekend of preparation, the group put together a show that proved itself a performance powerhouse to be reckoned with, adding percussionist and bass player Andrew DeMartino to the lineup. Re-Ree has since won a round of the 2003 Jaxx battle, and rocked the Fed Bash at Columbia U in New York City.
