Artist History Born in 1988 in a garage on the bad side of town in Los Angeles, CA, The Uninvited eventually formed their own record company, released three CD's on their own, won MTV's Beach House Band contest, and garnered a humongous local following. After recording "Artificial Hip," the band moved to the Bay Area of California, started touring nationally and received so much airplay they finally attracted the attention of Atlantic Records. After signing to Atlantic they released their self-titled major label debut, "The Uninvited," which included the single "What God Said" and the cult-classic, "Too High for the Supermarket." Recently, the band split with Atlantic and recorded "It's All Good," which soon became their most popular album to date. Now, the band has just put the final touches on their greatest hits and rarities album, "13 Ways To Feel The Love," which is available here on MP3.com NOW!
