Artist History Formed by Kyle Melton as a vehicle to record original material. Quickly became an interesting project to continue. Unfortunately, keeping any one lineup together was impossible. Recorded three albums during 1999-2000, "Four Days," "Titan," and "Secondary Wish List," all featuring different configurations. "Secondary Wish List," which was recorded on four-track cassette in Kyle's basement, was released in May 2000 to critical acclaim. Shortly after the completion of the album, bass player Jon Arnold left to pursue other interests and was replaced by Marc Betts.

Press Reviews "...this is tight and taught indie rock with an emphasis on energy, immediacy, and memorable hooks... that is thankfully devoid of the gratuitous noise and faux amateurish production techniques that so many lo-fi bands employ... perfect indie pop for the short attention span set." -Don Thrasher, Impact Weekly
