The Conformists began in November of 1996. In November of 2006, they celebrated with a show. Not a ten-year reunion show, mind you, but a show celebrating ten years together with the same lineup. Take that, Robert Pollard! Recorded by Steve Albini at Electrical Audio and mastered by John Golden, Three Hundred is a sweet-sounding slab of musical tomfoolery, the finest in rock deconstruction since US Maple dropped Sang Phat Editor on an unsuspecting indie cognoscenti. Somewhere in Chicago, the members of Cheer-Accident are standing on park benches and clapping furiously at passersby, and for once, they have a reason. That reason is Three Hundred. Standard Jewel Case.
