Hailing from Lovely Seattle, Washington, "Awesome" is a group of artist/musicians/performers whose music pushes the boundaries of pop.

Their album 'Delaware' is a recording of a musical performance. The songs tell stories and are performed with innovative musical techniques. Typewriters and water become percussion. Trombones beckon, an accordion shimmies, and a banjo (with Pactrick Swayze's face) twangs happily. The band is influenced by musicians like They Might Be Giants and Robyn Hitchcock. There are some similarities to the Decemberists as well.

"Awesome" is: John Osebold, Basil Harris, Evan Mosher, David Nixon, John Ackermann, Kirk Anderson, Rob Witmer.
