Back in the mid-to-late 1990s, The Magnificent Ambersons took DeKalb, Illinois (and a select group of other Midwestern towns) by storm, playing their take on power pop/independent rock. Buoyed by a cadre of friends and family, the Ambersons released 2 full-length CDs and had 40+ songs at the ready for any type of live engagement. Then, suddenly, and ill-fated taco dinner. IYKYK.
