Formed at a Long Island jazz school in the early ’90s, this psychedelic rock trio brought together three college kids from completely different backgrounds. After dropping out, they hit the road—touring across America and opening for national acts like The Ramones and The Bogmen. Their debut album, recorded in a church with members of Suddenly Tammy (and using Warner Bros. funds and the band LIVE’s gear), captures the raw energy of an era fueled by noise, risk, and independence.
