The Watery Graves of Portland are the sounds and atmosphere created by Curtis Knapp on piano and Adrian Orange on brushed drums and Davis Lee Hooker on upright bass. The music is Satie-like in it's mercurial deliberation, a sort of "old school" instrumental improvisation but not lawless, and sometimes verges on the bar room ragtime: inspirational elevator music, filmic rhythmic furniture music. Their live shows include free stamped envelopes and office supplies, encouraging audiences to write loved ones and/or the band itself amid the music.
