Alex Gargolas Presenta: Los Brothers CD

The band's name reflects Buckridge's slacker trappings: 'I've always admired people who weren't ambitious,' he says. 'We don't think about it too much, we just play.

' But that's not the whole story. Buckridge has worked incredibly hard to craft the illusion of indifference: the band's EP Vessels and full-length record Idiot Garden were recorded on a 4-track machine pre-2006, with Buckridge playing virtually all instruments on all tracks, with a sprinkling of guest musicians thrown in for color. The Ne'er Do Evers have an eclectic mix of influences, many of them based in the do-it-yourself aesthetic exemplified by Daniel Johnston, Sebadoh, Frank Black & the Catholics, Dinosaur Jr.

, Paul Westerberg, Iggy Pop, The Stooges, Black Flag, The Minutemen, Todd Rundgren, and They Might Be Giants, just to name the most important. As far as they're concerned, if someone else got away with it, so will they.
