The two then jammed with Eric Newsom in Jeremy's room. The three found that playing music together suited them. Then they played with Benjie and Dave who Eric knew. The band was created. All this happened in Nov. 2001. Jeremy then left the band to pursue oversea's schooling.

Press Reviews "The Donner Search Party is a band that sprang up from the unlikely state of North Carolina. Unlike more popular bands from North Carolina like Superchunk or Ben Folds Five, DSP did not come from Raliegh, they came from the wooded regions of Cullowhee. Cullowhee, nestled in the Blue Ridge mountains, is said to be a hot bed of musical talent. The truth is it is not. Cullowhee sucks. So does this band." --Stan Slanders, The Western Carolinian

Additional Info DSP has formal connections with Grimmoon, Greedo, Seizure Kids, Punky Bluester, Yardapes, Casserole 5, Ekstam, Montford Complex, Whigs and Tories, Coltomb (Sp?), and countless other bands that the members have been in.
