Love Equals Death formed in Petaluma, California in 2003, and generally celebrated Halloween as the anniversary of their formation. The band’s initial lineup consisted of vocalist Chon Travis (formerly of Loose Change and Envain), guitarist John Rosser, bassist Dominic Davi (formerly of Tsunami Bomb ), and drummer Tonio Garcia-Romero. Their first release of recorded material was a cover version of ” Dammit Janet ” on the compilation album The Rocky Horror Punk Rock Show , released that December. Their debut EP , 4 Notes on a Dying Scale , was released through Popsmear Records, and the band supported it with shows in the San Francisco Bay Area and their first United States tour in September 2004. A second tour followed from February to April 2005.
