The Piano Movers
Biography
The Piano Movers is a revoloving caste of traveling piano movers and experimental pop producers. Along with their tragically dedicated manager Sal Manela, the Piano Movers have been leaders in the field of piano movement for a decade; both inward and outward movement. Their production career has been defined by carnivalesque organ arragements and effected vocals. Some of the Thieves Anonymous Collective members met up with them in the spring of 07' to record some collaborations.

The Acid-Eyed Goof Troupe
Biography
The Acid-Eyed Goof Troupe was the first group to include the three founding members of Thieves Anonymous: William G. Kaiser, mt. neverest, and Andy Catlin. Joined by bassist Phil Gray, the group played a handful of shows and recorded an album, Everything Turns On, during the summer of 2006. While all members enjoyed the end product of the collaboration, the name was far too ridiculous to carry on...but fans and followers will forever cherish the summer of 06' when the sun cast its rays proudly on this troupe of "Acid-Eyed Goofs"!

The City Fathers (2001-2005)
Biography
The City Fathers is the forever defunct band consisting of members Andy Catlin (Guitar, Vocals, other stuff), Grant Littler (Lead guitar, other stuff), Phil Gray (Bass), Rob Magnesen (Drums), and Ryan Winks (Handyman). In 2002, the City Fathers began construction on a community of tonality under the songwriting partnership of Andy Catlin and Grant Littler. They recorded one full-length LP Building the Tallest Ivory Tower (2003) and several EPs including the Brunch Tapes (2005). Over the years, The City Fathers cared for and responded to the needs of their fans like the shepard who abandons his flock of 99 to save the one wayward lamb; needless to say they were held in high regards by the beloved itself. After three years of dedicated service as genderless patriarchs, the City Fathers went on to be leaders of much greater kingdoms!
