THE BAND
Who are the Imposteriors?
The Imposteriors is a band made up of academic statisticians whose goal in life is to inspire even the most awkward music-lover to dance! We play a variety of musical genres from Motown to classic rock 'n roll to indie pop to 80's classics to punk/polka to current rock to I'm-embarrassed-to-admit-I-like-that-song-from-the-radio crowd pleasers. If it makes you want to dance, we want to play it. We hail from 5 different parts of the country but get together several times a year at academic conferences and find a way to play together. In between gigs we live the lives of unassuming university professors whose students would never suspect are really part-time rock legends (in the statistics community). Several members of the band play in other bands as well, but no band will ever have the same meaning in each of our hearts. Book us today to play your next party, conference, or geek-fest -- you won't be disappointed!
