Kleenex Girl Wonder is a 20-year-old New York-based pop/rock band who specialize in earworm-grade melodies and laureate-class multisyllabic-rhyme-bejewelled lyrics.

He recruited former Wes Anderson protege Thayer McClanahan to play guitar (their famous schism "really taught me how to shred," quips McClanahan), Ryan (no sexual relation) Smith with his bass wobble synth, and total pro Mike Fadem (Jealous Girlfriends, Amy Miles, that guy from Shudder to Think) for the drums. As Graham Smith & KGW, this line-up recorded November Brain and Yes Boss, which was named the third best album of the first decade of the 21st century by one writer at Time Out New York. The pure KGW brand was revivified on 2009 s Mrs. Equitone, a
