Artist History Built out of a long-time friendship between Lance and Damian, the band signed with Sub*Lime Records (a div. of Zomba Records, Intl.)in 1996. Their first album, "Watusi", was released later that same year. They churned out 150 shows in 1997, including a 40-city tour with Grammy winners and label mates Third Day, and put 70,000 miles on their tour van. The band's sophomore release, "Vegas Car Chasers", was released on Sub*Lime, and sister label Essential Records. Immediately following the release, the band hopped on yet another mega-tour, playing colleges nationwide with label-mates and Grammy winning Jars of Clay, and A&M Records artist Burlap to Cashmere. After listening to "Original," we think you'll agree the pace isn't likely to dwindle.
