Politicks is an American five-piece eclectic rock band formed in 2001 at Radford University where three of its current members went to school.[1] Politicks has performed on the east coast from New York to Florida and shared the stage with several Grammy Award winning artists.[2][3]
While working on their professional debut album, Two Coffees, One Juice, the band wrote and recorded the theme song for a major motion picture, entitled "The Perfect Game."[4]
Politicks features Matthew Green on vocals, Brian Chafin and Mike Trella on guitars, Brad Moore on bass, and Brendan McCourt on drums. All five members contribute to the songwriting process.[1]
Notable venues outside Washington in which Politicks has performed include Nokia Theatre on Broadway in NYC, Theatre of Living Arts (TLA) in Philadelphia, PA, Rusty Rudder in Dewey Beach, DE,[5] and Meyer Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, FL.[2]
The band has been known to contribute to benefit concerts including one for victims of Hurricane Katrina[6] and another benefiting Washington DC's Whitman-Walker Clinic.[7]
