Warpaint formed in Los Angeles on Valentine’s Day 2004. The original lineup consisted of childhood friends Wayman and Kokal alongside sisters Lindberg and Shannyn Sossamon . The band played in Los Angeles for three years, writing songs (“Stars”, “Beetles” and “Elephants”) which eventually were on their debut EP. According to Jenny Lindberg in a 2011 interview with Guardian Music, the band originally went by the name “World War 4” and changed their name to Warpaint only after writing their song “Warpaint” (which they had been playing for years but first appeared on their LP, The Fool ).
