Artist History
Stereo Sonic was born when bassist Jesse Miller collaborated with guitarist/pianist Matt
Kyle on a project for their high school talent show. Matt had heard about the remains of a band
that Jesse was in, Spinning Jenny. The band had split, leaving Jesse and guitarist Mason Butler to
continue as a two-piece. Matt was impressed by the duo's six-song demo and joined their ranks in
February of 1998, offering them a new chief songwriter. After three months of writing and
rehearsing, the fledgling band was ready to play for an audience under the name Kashmir.
Fate, it seems, had thrust drummer Eric Reiter upon the band. Mason and Jesse had two
chance meetings with him outside of a Primus concert, and three months later at an Oasis show.
Matt and Jesse met him once again at the Dwelling, a small coffee shop Kashmir was to play two
weeks later-without a drummer. After they had learned that Eric was a drummer, notably in the
punk outfit The Semi Gods, the three jammed spontaneously to a few of Kashmir's songs with
Eric improvising the drum parts. Both Matt and Jesse knew that Eric was the right choice when
the audience members were fooled, thinking Eric had always been a part of the band.
After enlisting Eric as a full-time drummer, the band soon changed their name to Stereo
Sonic, based on lyrics culled from the Presidents Of The United States of America song
