The Seas are an Austin-based band that plays psychedelic art-pop for the people. They explore easily accessible genres such as straight-up rock, jumping punk and dance-happy pop, all the while bringing the listener into an artful fantasy world filled with surreal lyricism and otherworldly melodies. The members include Nurk and LaRue, who formerly played in Austin beat-pop trio the Shim Shams. In summer of 2006, the newly formed Seas welcomed the Rev. P. Wayne (formerly of the Innocent and the mastermind behind the Devil Bites Dirty) and Schmengus McMonstersauce, who added much-needed depth to the band's instrumentation and arrangements.
