When Scott and Brian were just kids they used to stay up late and listen to the FM rock stations. Sitting in their basement in the flat lands of rural Indiana, Indianapolis seemed like the big city that was a thousand miles away. Classic rock poured out of the little speakers, Heart, The Kinks, Van Morrison, Zeppelin…then The Cars, Costello, Nick Lowe and The Clash. Not long after that Scott started up on piano and drums, and Brian pick up his grandfathers’ old acoustic…and a band was born. Somewhere between Damn the Torpedoes and The River, Scott started writing his first songs. One of those first songs was called Life in the Halls, a tribute to making it through those awkward High School years. The brothers struck up with some neighbor boys and played out as The Post Raisin Band. They won a couple talent shows and played wherever they could. Soon they found themselves out growing the mid-Indiana music scene. While playing Bloomington, IN, home of Indiana University, they met a record store owner who liked what they were doing. He knew of a band in NYC that was getting ready for a Midwest tour. Getting the support slot, they hit the road and got their first taste of the real rock-n-roll life. A few years later they tired New York City for a few weeks but it didn't stick. Soon they found Milwaukee, with the Violent Femmes and The BoDeans taking off, they decided they had found a home. Rent, tuition, and beer was cheap too, so they went to college and soaked in as much music as they could. Playing the bars with their pop-rock band The Squares, they cut their teeth and paid their dues. They even made it back to NYC and to play CBGB’s. The Squares eventually called it quits and the Wooldridge Brothers started up. After a DIY cassette grabbed the attention of REM producer Scott Litt, Scott and Brian found some music biz support. They went on to put out Skeleton Keys and Star of Desire on Don’t Records (Willy Porter, Citizen King). These albums garnered them a spot at SXSW and that landed them a deal with Windswept Pacific (now Bug Music). Star of Desire did very well in the music publishing world, and set them up for their next album. The hired Walter Salas-Humara and headed into Smart Studios (Butch Vig) in Madison to record Uncovering The Sun. The album was released in 1998 on Don't Records in the States, and Blue Rose Records in Europe. Unfortunately at the same time Don’t Records was going out of business. Critics liked Uncovering The Sun, and again it did well in film and TV (Theme song for ETV! Nearly Famous), but it never got to the general publics ears. After hitting the road for a couple more years, the brothers took a break for their personal lives. Scott headed north to Minneapolis, while Brian stayed in Milwaukee and played bass with Michelle Anthony and Stephanie Dosen. In 2008 the brothers wrote a new batch of tunes and headed into the studio. The result is the fresh and classic Days Went Around.
