DQE was formed in 1986 by Grace Braun, Chris Verene (Rock*a*teens) and Zak Sitter (Fat Day).Their origin could be found in low fi, Destroy All Music chaos, and they began recording and performing immediately.

in 1990 DQE assembled along with Marty Matteson, Justin Hughes and Jan Ollis and recorded "N is for Nollidge," their first widely distributed album and large band experience.

"N" featured a host of notable DQE standards, including "Do Right" and "Buttermilk Pancake" and championed by Graces then-man Daniel Johnston.

Grace credits Daniel with introducing her to the guitar and tape recorder and encouraging her to write and to learn.

In 1991 while on a trip to Louisville Grace met Dex Romweber (Flat Duo Jets) and saw him perform in what she has maintained was the best show of her life.  DQE became a two piece, the two musicians became friends, and under this inspiration she began to practice and write with dedication- recording the  album "But Me I Fell Down" with Steve Albini recording and Chris Verene on drums.

I wrote this song in 1989 because I heard Peggy Lee sing HER "Do Right" on the radio- and had no way to record it or even buy a record of it and I wanted to play and sing it, and be part of it myself.
