Artist History Formed in 1992, this Dayton, Ohio-based group made a name for themselves around the country with their unique blend of sounds and song ideas. Cage toured around the midwest, east coast and southern states, played with bands like The Breeders, Fugazi, Shudder to Think and Guided By Voices, and appeared in SPIN, The Splatter Effect, and many other magazines. Their full-length CD, Magnificent Propaganda Opportunity, documented the variety of the group only hinted at on their single releases. Although the band split in 1996, their music and ideas are still heard through various solo efforts, including Gregg Spence's solo work, and his collaboration with Nick Kizirnis in The Mulchmen.
