Bound Stems is an indie rock band with math rock influences from Chicago, Illinois. The band's members are Bobby Gallivan (vocals), Dan Fleury (guitar), Dan Radzicki (bass, keys), Evan Sult (drums) (formerly of Harvey Danger), and Janie Porche (multi-intrumentalist).
Fleury, Radz, and Bobby were friends from high school basketball on; Evan arrived from Seattle and Harvey Danger in September 2002. They started writing songs all the time, then playing out, then writing some more, and by the time Janie had completed the transition from friend to roommate to band member, The Logic of Building the Body Plan EP had been released by Flameshovel Records and they were deep into the construction of Appreciation Night, Bound Stems' debut full-length, also on Flameshovel.
Now that Appreciation Night is complete, the members of Bound Stems have disengaged their real jobs (high school history teacher, comic book art director, lab tech, hi-tech techs) in favor of their heretofore fake job as a touring band. It's an act of faith consistent with the characters on the record, the architecture of the songs, and the implied narrative arc.
- Bound Stems were SPIN's Band of the Month, March 2006.
- Bound Stems were the featured band on Daytrotter in September, 2006
