The Prids

Guitarist and singer David Frederickson started the Prids with bassist and singer Mistina Keith in the late '90s. The couple spent their early existence bouncing between locales across the Midwest -- Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska, and Saint Joseph, Missouri -- but their brand of dark, DIY no-wave and strict vegan lifestyle was not long for the Show Me State, and they eventually found more hospitable digs in Portland, Oregon. They self-released three records, Duracraft (2000), Glide Screamer (2002) and Love Zero (2003) before the Five03 label issued 2006's …Until the World Is Beautiful. Among their numerous U.S. tours they've have supported the Faint, the Rapture, TV on the Radio and Built to Spill.
