Artist History Mind Sirens were formed in 1988 out of the remnants of Other Bright Colors - a band which toured extensively from 1983-1988, primarily in the southeastern US. From 1991 - 1993 Mind Sirens recorded 3 7-inch singles on Jettison Records: "Can See This Time", "Head-Stomach Highway" and "Alaska" from the split with Blue-Green Gods. In 1992 Mind Sirens also recorded the track "Graveyard" for the Jettison compilation LP "Falling Off the Planet" which is arguably their best recording. In 1993 the band also recorded the "Decatur Cherry Smash" LP and CD. The current lineup, which has been constant since 1996, consists of Brian Butler (vocals, guitar), Mike Barker (bass), guitarist Simeon Berkeley (Go-Botz) and drummer David Dixon(81 Mulberry). They are currently preparing for the CD release of a live radio performance and new material is being recorded for a 2nd album to be released sometime in 1999.
