Music like Margot & the Nuclear So and So's

Margot & the Nuclear So and So's is an American rock band from Indianapolis, Indiana. Between 2006 and 2014, the band released 6 full-length albums.

The band's founding members, Richard Edwards and Andy Fry, met while teens. Eventually, in 2004, the two formed Margot & the Nuclear So and So's, named after the character Margot in Wes Anderson's 2001 film The Royal Tenenbaums.

Over time, many friends of Edwards and Fry in the Indianapolis area joined the band. By the time their first album The Dust of Retreat was released in 2006, the band contained eight full-time members.

After a move to Chicago in 2009, Edwards began to experiment with a new band lineup, and eventually decided on a six-man group made up of some former members and some Chicago-area musicians. This new lineup allowed Edwards to take the band in a more rock-based direction, which could be seen in their next two studio albums Buzzard (2010), and Rot Gut, Domestic (2012).
