Q and Not U

1138 fans

Q and Not U was formed in Washington, D.C. in 1998 by John Davis (drums), Harris Klahr (vocals, guitars), Christopher Richards (vocals, guitars), and Matt Borlik (bass). The quartet began playing local shows in November 1998 and signed to Dischord Records. Their debut No Kill No Beep Beep (2000) showcased rhythmic compositions with dissonant guitars and danceable beats, gaining critical attention. After Borlik left in 2001, the remaining trio released Different Damage (2002) and Power (2004), expanding their sound with synths, melodicas, and complex vocal arrangements. The band toured extensively across the U.S., Europe, South Africa, Canada, and Japan before disbanding in September 2005 following a farewell show at the Black Cat.
