Nate…
1. Started Wendy Darling when he posted a craigslist ad looking for a singer with “commanding stage presence” and the vocal abilities of “Ani Difranco, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Bjork and Jeff Buckley.” Pretty ambitious.
2. Has carpet that matches the drapes.
3. Loves sushi.
4. Was born in a house in Berkeley with the assistance of a midwife. His mom had all-natural home births with him and his two sisters. Hippie parents rule!
5. Has an awesome mom, Annie, who is also featured in the band’s music video for “Persistence of Will.”
6. Has a day job as a paralegal at a probate law firm in San Francisco.
7. Has an older sister and a younger sister. His older sister, Mari, is an actress (http://www.thediaryofateenagegirl.com/), and his younger sister, Emily, is a comedian (http://emilyhellerstuff.com/). Something must have gone terribly wrong in their family when they were very young to make them all exhibitionists.
8. Went to rock and roll band camp as a child.
9. Is terrified of heights.
10. Have the worst tank top sun burn of his life right now. He still really likes tank tops despite the pain…He even wrote a song about them.

4. Doesn’t have cable or internet.
5. Has an older brother. He could beat up your brother.
6. Has vivid dreams almost every night. It’s like a movie theater her head, and she have recurring nightmares about sharks. When she was little, she used to have nightmares about hurricanes. Then her mom told her we don’t get them in California. They stopped immediately. Mom ftw!
7. Once held Listerine in her mouth for a minute on a dare. It’s a horrible idea.
8. Learned how to shoot a gun when she was 6. She has never shot anything living.
9. Used to “wave” her bangs in elementary school. She was not good at it.
10. Wrote a song with Wendy Darling called “Your Song (2LCWR).” It’s about a very attractive man who lives far from her. She misses him constantly.
