Sic Alps were an American garage rock band from San Francisco, California.[1] Formed in 2004 by Mike Donovan and Adam Stonehouse, they released music on Siltbreeze, Drag City, Woodsist and several other independent record labels.
After signing with Siltbreeze, the group, at this point a duo consisting of Donovan and Matt Hartman, released U.S. EZ in 2008.[2] A full-length was released on Drag City early in 2011.[3]
Following the band's break-up in 2013,[4] individual members moved on to other projects. Bassist Tim Hellman joined Thee Oh Sees, guitarist Barret Avner joined the post-Royal Trux, Jennifer Herrema led Black Bananas and frontman Mike Donovan released a solo record produced by Ty Segall[5] and later formed the band Peacers with ex-members of Thee Oh Sees.
