Artist History Chris and John have jammed together since high school. In 1986, at a friend's party, they started writing songs and formed the fledgling group and named it after their modern political philosophy, Liberal Materialism. Ross joined the band two years later. After a series of more drummers than Spinal Tap (though none exploded on stage or anything), Frank joined the band, and he's been with them ever since.
