Actors&Actresses

Formed in 2005 Actors&Actresses quickly made an impact in the Midwest region. Their first album was a self-released EP titled We Love Our Enemy. Sold at local stores and over the internet, the CD caught the interest of touring post-rock band Caspian (band), who then introduced members to the owners and operators of the record label The Mylene Sheath during South by Southwest in 2008. Actors&Actresses were added to the label after a show in Kansas City in August 2008.[1] The group went on to record their first full length which was released on LP, CD and through digital networks in June 2009 to positive reviews.[2][3]

The band achieves a unique sound by playing the bass and guitar in alternate tunings, neither of which are tuned to standard A440.

Scott Bennett plays a Rickenbacker 4001C electric bass tuned to B F# B F#, and often uses a capo to further alter the tuning.

Andrew Schiller plays a Paul Reed Smith McCarty Standard model guitar tuned to drop D tuning further down tuned another half step to C#.

David Sumner plays custom C&C Drums with over-sized tom shells and an 18x24 inch bass drum.
