Expensive People is a new trio consisting of L. Eugene Methe (Naturaliste, Rake Cash, Simon Joyner, Gertrude Tapes), Bryan Day (Naturaliste, Eloine, Euphotic, Collision Stories, Public Eyesore/Eh?), and Alex Boardman (Shelf Life, Rake Cash, Watch the Stereo). Consisting of half of the early 2000s junk noise folk collective Naturaliste during a series of visits by Day from San Francisco to Omaha during early 2023.

Fusing elements such as violin, electronics, invented instruments, synths, guitar, bass, and effects, Expensive People’s approach is improvisational but focused less on "free" dynamics and more on developing singular sounds and textures as the pieces unfold.
