Formed in 2008 by
Fresh & Onlys backup singers Grace Cooper and Heidi Alexander, along with drummer Roxy Brodeur of Pillars of Silence, San Francisco-based lo-fi pop trio
the Sandwitches blend world-weary folk, '60s girl group swagger, and infectious,
Fleetwood Mac-inspired indie pop into a sound that's part gothic theater and part front-porch singalong. The band released its debut album,
How to Make Ambient Sad Cake, on the Turn Up label in 2009, followed by the
Duck, Duck, Goose! EP in 2010. During the tour supporting the
Ambient Sad Cake album, Brodeur took a sabbatical from the group, and Lance Kramer of the Beat Cops took over as drummer in her absence. Brodeur returned in time to play on
the Sandwitches' sophomore full-length,
Mrs. Jones' Cookies, released in the spring of 2011. The group continued to tour, both as a headliner and as support for fellow San Franciscans
Thee Oh Sees and
Sonny & the Sunsets, and in June 2015
the Sandwitches dropped album number three,
Our Toast. ~ James Christopher Monger
