Lima Charlie formed in early 2004 and started playing out soon after that in Connecticut and New York clubs. The band's sound is a marriage of several styles ranging from hard-edged indie rock to jazzy, acoustic folk to keyboard driven pop. The live shows are enhanced by improvised forays into uncharted territory, allowing the songs to develop and change over time, and guaranteeing the audience a unique experience. Musically (and philisophically), Lima Charlie is influenced mostly by modern bands who aren't afraid to take risks, such as Sonic Youth, Ween, and Radiohead. The group has just completed its debut album, due to be released this summer.
