Biography

Lo-fi indie pop band Boat (vocalist/guitarist D. Crane, bassist/guitarist M. McKenzie, and drummer J. Goodman) got its start when D. Crane moved back to Seattle after teaching junior high classes for a year in Chicago. He had already been coming up with ideas, but finally decided to make an album. Eventually he finished a recording he called Comic Book Rock and sent it to a few friends thinking that would be the end of the undertaking. Instead he formed a band and played live after encouragement from friends. Soon Crane got a better recorder, resulting in Life Is a Shipwreck. Sean Tollefson from Tullycraft had seen Boat play and relayed a copy of its record to Magic Marker. After an EP titled After All, they signed on with Magic Marker and released Songs That You Might Not Like in July 2006.
