Qui (pronounced as "Kwee")[1] are a rock group formed in 2000 in Los Angeles by Paul Christensen (drums/vocals) and Matt Cronk (guitar/vocals). A combination of punk, noise and experimental rock, they released their first full-length album Baby Kisses in 2003.
In 2006, after performing a number of shows as a guest vocalist, David Yow (ex-Scratch Acid, The Jesus Lizard) joined the band as vocalist, and features on the 2007 album Love's Miracle, released on Mike Patton's label Ipecac Recordings. Most of this album was written before Yow joined, but were reworked to take account of his vocals.[2] The first release with Yow fully involved came with the 2007 single "Today, Gestation" / "Freeze".[3]
In early 2008, Yow was hospitalized with a punctured lung after a show in Pittsburgh.[4] He has now fully recovered and the band announced European dates that took place during the second half of 2008.
