Drugstore

Drugstore was an indie band from Austin, Texas that formed in 1996. The original lineup included Tad Kubler on vocals and guitar, Mark Kramer on guitar, Andy Anderson on bass, and Jason Sakurai on drums. They released their self-titled debut album that same year.

Their 1998 album 'El President' became their most recognized work, with the title track gaining attention for its hypnotic rhythms and Kubler's distinctive vocal delivery. Other songs from that period like 'Alive' and 'Fader' showed their tendency to blend folk elements with more experimental, distorted guitar textures.

They released three more studio albums over the next decade: 'White Magic' in 2001, 'Some Red Handed Sleight of Hand' in 2003, and 'Modern Medicine' in 2009. The band's lineup remained relatively stable throughout their run, with the same four members appearing on most recordings.

Drugstore disbanded in 2014 after nearly two decades of activity. Their music, particularly the 'El President' material, continues to find listeners among those drawn to that era's underground indie sound.
