Core members Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow , who met as students at Sehome High School in Bellingham, Washington , began writing songs together in late 1986 while Stringfellow was in school at the University of Washington . Their first public performance came as an acoustic duo in 1987 while Stringfellow was home in Bellingham. They recorded twelve songs in Auer’s family’s home studio. Though intended as demos to attract other members and form a full band, the recordings became the Posies’ first self-released album, Failure .
