Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s is a 6-piece indie-pop/orchestral pop band from Indianapolis, Indiana. The band, which was formed in 2004 by Richard Edwards and Andy Fry (formerly of Archer Avenue and The Academy, respectively), is currently signed to Epic Records.
Their debut album, The Dust Of Retreat came out in 2006. At this time, the band was signed to Artemis Records and had 8 members. In 2008 the band signed to Epic Records and (on 7 October) released two new albums, Animal! and Not Animal. The band originally planned to just release “Animal!”. However, Epic disagreed on their song choice, and compiled a different list, which would later become “Not Animal”. Eventually, after dispute over which version would be released, it was decided to release both at the same time.
In August 2009, 5 of the band’s members left. ApparentlyThey are all involved in other projects, most notably Pravada.
While the band, and Richard specifically have given many explanations to the band’s name; this is all in fun. As the name was created as an anti-name; not meant to have any real meaning, just to make fun of other ridiculous names. The name “Margot” comes from Gweneth Paltrow’s character in Wes Anderson’s “The Royal Tenenbaums”.

This band wasn't particularly good when I saw them with Cloud Cult, but that was probably due to the crappy sound.

Richard, you junkie fuck, this is all your fault. You will not be forgiven you weapy piece of shit. Your selfish asshole persona caused the dissolution of this good band. Also, Eric Kang is not founding, joined after cellist Jesse Lee left. Only 2 members from Dust of Retreat remain.

Here's a link to their myspace which slightly talks about members leaving, which is not what I was necessarily looking for since I remember seeing a list with the names of who was leaving. http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=10063212&blogId=508074561 Only 3 original members remain while 5 others left. A huge part of the group
