Ptarmigan - "Valley of Some Sort"

In conjunction with the release of BATHTIME, our essential compilation of Missouri's most exciting young bands, we asked each of the featured bands to fill out a short profile to introduce themselves to the esteemed Bathysphere reader and BATHTIME listener. Today it's Ptarmigan, who swear they've never heard of Luna:

Hometown: Columbia
Formed: Nov. 2007
Label: unsigned
Genre: powerfolk ambiopop
Beards: three
Favorite Missouri band: Joe Stickley's Blueprint
Why you should support local music: Supporting the local music scene gives us the opportunity to become part of something completely unique. As members of Columbia's musical community, we have had the experience of witnessing and influencing fledgling musicians and bands. It's exciting to feel like you are a part of something that people from other towns have yet to discover.
Side projects/related bands: Ted is also a part of Penny Marvel and Explodacon. Evan has a solo project known as Je Ne Sais Pas although many of those songs eventually become Ptarmigan tracks.
Releases: These Ordinary Men EP (2009), forthcoming full-length
