::::: BIOGRAPHY :::::
Band was formed in 1992 by two high school friends, Mike and Drew, who had played together previously, when they added another high school acquaintance, Tom. This happened in the spring of 1992. After a summer of playing some good shows, the band faced attempting to sustain itself while its members scattered for college and university educations. They managed this for over two years, playing together on breaks. During winter break 92-93 they recorded the songs for their first 7″. During the summer of 1993, they wrote more songs, played constantly across California, and recorded the songs for the 12″. In the spring of 1994, they did a four-show trip on the East Coast, playing in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. In the summer of 1994 they did a full US tour, and recorded songs for the double-7″ at the end of that tour. They played their last show in early 1995.Members of this band also played in Campaign (on Mountain Records), the Fisticuffs Bluff, the Notorious Love Affair (Germany), Huasipungo, and the Dwarves, among others.
