Little Champions

Little Champions is an American indie rock band from Seattle, Washington, United States, formed in 1996. The band's founding members are Becky Harbine (bass, keyboards, vocals), Scott Harbine (guitar, vocals), and Fred Stuben (drums). Later Fred Stuben switched to guitar, and Chris Shymko was recruited to play drums. The band was signed to Barsuk Records and released its first full-length album entitled Pillow in 1999. Drummer Chris Shymko left the band not long after and was replaced by Kate Kinney. The group subsequently released their second full album on Barsuk Records. Later line-up changes include the addition of Paul Mason on second guitar, later leaving the band to form his own group, Whiskey Ship Choir; the departure of Kate Kinney and return of Chris Shymko on drums; and Eric Wolfe replacing Fred Stuben on guitar. The group's third album, Fire Let Me In, Lava Let Me Out, was a self-release that debuted in July, 2008.

gollark: A cool but also still impractical alternative to batteries for solar would just be to have a giant ring of solar panels around the planet, linked with superconductors.
gollark: (or nuclear if people weren't irrationally scared of it)
gollark: You would be able to drop the batteries, and drive with unlimited range as long as there was a satellite available to point at you.
gollark: It might also cook the passenger, but that's a small price to pay for PROGRESS!
gollark: The *correct* way would of course be orbital satellites which generate a microwave beam focused on your Tesla, which it can then convert back to electricity.
