Rock, Psychedelic, Pop, Folk, Country, Gypsy, Punk, Blues, Experimental. Poverty Tax was formed in the Fall of 2006 by the 2 founding members of Secret Agent Bill- Daniel Lewis and Stefan Benteler. Having played together since SAB’s inception in 1995 (when they were just 14 yrs old), they decided to go in a different musical direction, centered around acoustic folk, electric rock-n-roll, and a knack for memorable songs that matter. In 2007, Ed Schlicksup joined the band, and was instantly dubbed Ed Lunar- a reference to his former Champaign, IL Indie Rock/Prog band Lunar Breakdown.
