  Welcome to our personal shrine to our favorite band in the world. For those of you who are (or have ever been) wise to the Fibbers and their majestic tales of love and tragedy, then maybe you too have experienced the magical power of a Fibbers song to take you out of this world and lead you into a land of infinite bliss. Maybe you understand why we just smile and say to anyone who asks us about this band that the Geraldine Fibbers are (still and will always be) God. And why we miss them to an achingly painful degree...
