Consolation Champ played their first show together in January of 2005 at the 400 Bar in Minneapolis. 380 performances, 37 states, 4 weddings, 11 children, and 6 dogs later, these balding buddies from Bloomington, Minnesota continue to pursue good songs and good shows that move people.
Their latest album, Shorthand for a Long Walk, is meant to inspire reflection and creativity amid the demands of adulthood. Described by the Minnesota Star Tribune as “a collection of jangly dad pop” (the band takes this as a compliment), it’s C. Champ’s best attempt yet at making songs with universal subject matter that still manage to sound interesting.
