Featuring Rohner Segnitz (vocals, keyboards), Ryan Wilson (guitar), Seb Bailey (bass, guitar, vocals), and Kevin Lenhart (drums), Division Day swings freely between precise arrangement and reckless abandon, following one song’s five-keyboard polyphony (“Hand to the Sound”) with a hoe-down of bare-handed cymbal beating and yelps of pure celebration (“Catch Your Death”). Both live and in the studio, their performances emphasize an infectious, visceral enthusiasm, an out and out joy for making music. This spirit is the common thread running through all Division Day songs, which have been noted by many to be otherwise quite different from one another.
The band credits a range of eclectic influences for inspiration (Unwound, African Headcharge, Boards of Canada, and John Fahey, for example).
Division Day’s 2004 EP, The Mean Way In, was recorded in the summer of 2003 by Alex Oana (N.E.R.D., Kid Dakota) with assistance from Scott Solter (John Vanderslice, Spoon, Mountain Goats) at the all-analog Tiny Telephone studio. Showcasing serpentine melody, warm keyboard tones, swaths of angular guitar, and tumbling rhythms, this six-song EP proves a challenging yet consistently rewarding listen.
Since releasing The Mean Way In, Division Day finished college, moved to Los Angeles, and began to establish themselves in the east L.A. music community.

I saw them back in 04 open for Dredg in Hollywood and I've been in love ever since, even though all they had released was their little 4-track EP
