Formed in San Francisco, CA, by brothers Alexander Eccles (vocals, keyboards) and Jonathan Eccles (guitar), indie rock band Dubious Ranger self-released its debut album, To Begin with, They're Very Tall, on January 28, 2005. Even These Things Tell Stories followed in 2007 on the band-formed label The Nothing Room. The brothers then added a rhythm section of bassist Aaron Sankin and drummer Brendan Ahern and began playing gigs. The quartet's first recorded effort was the EP Haircut for a Music Montage. Their third full-length album, Uneasy Truce at the Watering Hole, appeared on April 21, 2009. ~ William Ruhlmann
