Not to be confused with the folky balladeering Tallahassee band of the same name, Chicago's Soft Targets have been slinking and scoping around the underground rock scene for the past four years. Originally a power trio, the band has morphed and changed continuously with various members getting knocked up or finding themselves in various legal situations requiring their departure (most recently this was drummer Dave Potter who has since been replaced by Chris Negrete [Vamplifier] in early '08). The core of the band has been founder/singer/guitarist Chris Auman (Reagan National Crash Diet) and guitarist Reg Shrader (Seam, Circus Lupus), with lawyer-by-day Dan Kiss providing the longest service to date in a bass playing capacity.
