Artist History Mini Systems started in '96 by Etan and Ynot, who also played in the band BITCHIN' SUMMER together. They released their first 7" on Westside Audio Laboratories in 1998, after the releases of many home-pressed vinyl records made on CDs and bleach container bottoms. More recordings were released in 1998 on the Hanson records compilation LP Labyrinths & Jokes. The Mini Systems played out in cities like Chicago and somewhere in Indiana, and in Febuary 1998 played at the Green Bay Olympics Of Noise in Green Bay, WI. They were signed on to record a full-length LP for No Sides (formerly B.Sides) Records but, sadly, never did. Etan now plays in WOLF EYES. Ynot, though currently in rehab at the time that this was written, performs in his amazing long-time solo project MAXIMUM CLOUD.

Group Members Etan and Ynot, with occasional appearances by Aaron Dilloway (WOLF EYES, UNIVERSAL INDIANS), Twig Harper (NAUTICAL ALMANAC), Jaime, and various other substitute or guest members.

Instruments keyboards, electronic devices, toys, effects
