Tripping Icarus is a Minneapolis band, formed in 2009 by Andrew Reiner, Chris Kluwe, and Matthew Marshall. It happened like this: Chris knew Andy and Andy knew Matt. They came together and recorded a four song instrumental demo. Using this, they lured Matt's long time friend and former band mate Jesse, into the fold, and kept him chained to the walls of the rehearsal space, letting him out only to gig and record.
