Artist History The Beans Power Pop quad formed in April 1997, after a tape recorded on Greg Bean's 8-track ended up in the hands of Michael Dugan. Both Bean and Dugan were originally from the Washington D.C. Metropolitan area and met in college, located in Elon College, NC. After parting ways with their old drummer, Willie McIver became the new and current drummer for the band. Two years ago, The Beans added a fourth memeber, Rob Aneiva, on moog keyboard, guitar and vocals.
