Biography

A Talking Heads-infused surf-rock trio from Atlanta, GA, the Selmanaires came together after twin brothers Herb (guitar and vocals) and Jason Harris (drums and vocals) moved from Austin, TX, and met (eventual) bassist Tommy Chung. Cutting their teeth at smaller shows, the Selmanaires built a following and by 2008 had a handful of releases to their name, including the debut album Here Come the Selmanaires, the follow-up Air Salesmen, and the singles "Just to Get Yr Love" and "Standing in Line at an Elevator." ~ Chris True, All Music Guide

The Selmanaires are an American Indie rock band from Atlanta, Georgia. Two members, Herb and Jason Harris, are twin brothers.

The name of the band derives from the street address of the first house they practiced in together : 73 Selman Street in Reynoldstown, a neighborhood in Atlanta. The band played its first set of original material in the summer of 2003.

The first few shows featured Herb on acoustic guitar, Tommy on stand-up bass, and Jason on Wurlitzer electric piano, drums, bongos and various other percussive instruments. All three sang. After a series of shows in Atlanta, the band eventually reduced the number of instruments played to electric guitar, electric bass, and drum kit. All three members continued on vocals. Multi-instrumentalist Mathis Hunter joined the band in January 2007.
