moth wranglers is the anti-band musical collaboration formed in 1998 by Chris Xefos, and LD Beghtol. As Beghtol lives in Brooklyn and Xefos in San Francisco, their collaboration has focused on the creative use of technology (email, files sharing, telephony, etc) to bridge both their geographical and conceptual gap.

- moth wranglers is the anti-band musical collaboration formed in 1998 by Chris Xefos, and LD Beghtol. As Beghtol lives in Brooklyn and Xefos in San Francisco, their collaboration has focused on the creative use of technology (email, files sharing, telephony, etc) to bridge both their geographical and conceptual gap. Guest musicians on moth wranglers' two CDs, Never Mind the Context (Magntic, 2001) and Never Better (Magnetic, 2004) include: Victor Krummenacher and Jonathan Segel, Ken Stringfellow (The Posies), Stephin Merritt and Claudia Gonson (The Magnetic Fields), Dudley Klute, Allison Faith Levy, Christopher Ewen (TMF/Future Bible Heroes/The Hidden Variable), Doug Hilsinger of Bomb, and other noted rock/pop musicians of an experimental bent. Xefos and Beghtol share songwriting and production duties, and both play a variety of instruments, including all manner of guitars (bass, baritone, 6- and 12-string) and ukuleles, vintage keyboards and synths, percussion instruments and anything else that can produce a recordable sound. Though live and on record Beghtol is usually the lead singer, moth wranglers is noted for Xefos' exceptional backing vocal arrangements, often created by multi-tracking of his and Beghtol's voices. Their often elaborate production style and inventive arrangements have been compared to Phil Specter and Joe Meek. Xefos and Beghtol dress in matching outfits at their infrequent live shows, and have sported identical blaze-orange jumpsuits and immaculate chef's whites at SXSW in Austin, 1890s bartender garb at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, plaid nightshirts at the Knitting Factory in LA and the SF Eagle Tavern, and — most recently — the pair have performed garbed as clean-cut LDS missionaries (complete with clip-on ties and white button-down shirts) at the Theater for the New City's UkeFest '08.
