The Extraordinaires

The Extraordinaires are a five piece American indie rock band hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Originally formed by Jay Purdy and Matt Gibson in 2004 [1], the group, which releases its albums in books bound in Masonite [2], is known for its use of storytelling within songs.[3]

Their latest album, Electric and Benevolent (released in June of 2009), has been self described as “...almost a biography of a turn-of-the-century inventor genius...”.[4]
