“Besides being an indie rock quartet, a kowari is a small carnivorous marsupial native to the dry grasslands and deserts of central Australia.
They are also local to Seattle, WA. The band, not the rat.”

Dames started as a high-school band with a penchant for changing it’s name (from The Okays to Bat Police to Dames) and thrived on the Vampire Weekend-esque music that they all listened to when walking from class to class at the Tacoma School of the Arts.
Playing a multitude of DIY shows in and around the Tacoma and playing Sound Off! 2014 at the Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP), Dames was always doing something fun. If there was a backyard, Dames was there ready to play, with hopefully no noise-complaints.
You can also find their music featured in the films: The Scooper (Directed by Austin Milner) & Song of Utopia (Directed by Conner Von Kuetzing)
