Carissa's Wierd was an American indie rock band formed in Tucson, Arizona in 1995 by Mat Brooke and Jenn Champion, later moving to Seattle, Washington.

Originally sharing bills with hardcore bands in the Tucson scene, Carissa's Wierd made a name for themselves and the pair toured behind Modest Mouse, using fake IDs to gain their ways into clubs and riding in U-Hauls.

Relocating to the Pacific Northwest, the band's debut album, Ugly But Honest, was released in 1999 on Bridwell's own label, Brown Records.

[7] In July 2011, Mat Brooke told The Air-Raid Podcast, in an episode entitled "History Repeats Itself With Grand Archives," that another reunion show was scheduled at Neumos in Seattle on September 24.
