Qui
was founded in 2000 by drummer/vocalist Paul Christensen and
guitarist/vocalist Matt Cronk in Los Angeles, CA. Since debuting
in LA in early 2001 and the release of their first full-length
album, Baby Kisses, (Heart of a Champion) in 2003, they have
maintained a prodigious pace of both local performances and
national tours. Their idiosyncratic blend of punk, noise, metal
and experimental genres, coupled with their advanced musical
prowess, earned them a small but dedicated following throughout
the U.S.
In late 2006, Qui was joined by vocalist David Yow of The Jesus
Lizard/Scratch Acid fame. Shortly thereafter, the trio released
the single, "Today, Gestation" b/w "Freeze"
on the Los Angeles-based Infrasonic Sound Recordings label.
After a brief spring tour and two acclaimed performances at
the South By Southwest music conference in Austin, TX, Qui partnered
up with Mike Patton and Greg Werckman's Ipecac Recordings for
their forthcoming full-length entitled Love's Miracle, scheduled
for release on September 11, 2007. A full U.S. and European
tour will immediately follow. Strap on your fucking knee pads.
