Artist History Spookyhorse evolved from Dimmer Switch (1996-1999) which turned into Blaze Orange (1997). Spookyhorse broke off and went solo in 1998, and asked Undercurrents drummer and Blaze Orange bassist and Dimmer Switch guitarist to back him up, which they did begrudgingly. Then a classically-trained bassist came into the picture and a pianoplayer from concert bands. Sounds were made, and history.
