Neabore and Kilkenny began writing music together for Mucky Pup. When the music did not quite fit Mucky Pup’s style, the two friends decided to form their own band. It wasn’t long before friend and former Mucky Pup crew member, John Connor joined the duo on vocals. Connor had already been a vocalist for several local bands and together, the trio wrote songs like “Funnel King”, “Strip Song”, and “Psychorama”. After a long search, the band also found a drummer known simply as Brett. After several rehearsals, they held their first “official” performance in Neabore’s basement on April 1, 1990. The band packed fifty people into Neabore’s basement and held a toga party. Kevin Reilly, a band friend, was invited to perform with the band on saxophone.
