History:
hookandladder was formed in 2001 by Devin, Jasper, Joe, and Jeromy as CAMAROSMITH. After the first couple shows, Jason was moved in on keyboards. After some out of court legality issues and some inernet screaming matches, camarosmith changed thier name permenantly to hook and ladder. They recorded a 4 song EP, and did a bunch more shows. In early 2003 Paul officially joined the band on Moog, and the style of the band chilled into the kind of dark-wave sound they play now, and are soon to release a split 7" with KC locals Pixel Panda.
