About

Sometime on the innocent end of 2001, a teakettle clattered to the floor of a Brooklyn kitchen and Jeannie Kim, Nicole Whelan and Keach Hagey heard the future of music. After a series of misunderstandings they decided to call it Fur Cups For Teeth. Over time, guitar, bass and keyboards joined their arsenal of tiny instruments — Speak N Spell and Simon Says, kazoo and accordion, washboard and vacuum cleaner. They developed dance moves, picked up a costume habit and added a drummer, beat maestro Derek Pippin. The four of them have been knocking things over and the kids out ever since. There aren’t any rules, really. There have never been. Punk rock, electropop, Motown, hoedown – the only logic is that there is no logic.
