Artist History Formed in 1990 by Andy Koh and Frank Basile. Andy was a Harvard Medical student at that time who had recently returned back to the U.S. after a two- year stint in Oxford,England. He had gone to college in the Boston area and had been in a band with Berklee College of Music students. So this time around, he plastered the Berklee campus with flyers, looking to put a band together. Frank Basile, the drummer, had never ever replied to a band flyer before, but for some reason decided to reply to this flyer. The first practice consisted of Andy strumming on his Telecaster and singing, while Frank was pounding on the drums. Over the next three years, two other Berklee students (Tim Nickerson, bass, and Dan Bosshardt, tenor saxophone) joined the band. Since then, the band has done the Boston club circuit, signed on to management, and been cranking out material. The drummer owns and engineers his own recording studio, meaning that the band has really honed its recording skills.
