Freeeeeakie!!!! I don't know if you meant to send this to the whole list or not, but just in case anyone else is interested.... here goes: (this is the biography from www.allmusic.com) - -------------------------- The self-described "fuzz-folk" project Neutral Milk Hotel was one of the primary outgrowths of the Elephant 6 Recording Company collective, a coterie of like-minded, lo-fi indie groups — including the Apples (in stereo), the Olivia Tremor Control and Secret Square — who shared musicians, ideas and sensibilities. While ranging in sound and concept from solo acoustic work to full band performances, Neutral Milk Hotel essentially remained the work of Jeff Mangum, a singer/songwriter from the remote town of Ruston, Louisiana. Ruston was also home to Robert Schneider (later of the Apples), as well as William Cullen Hart and Bill Doss (who formed the Olivia Tremor Control); throughout high school, the aspiring musicians — all influenced by the likes of the Beatles, the Beach Boys, the Zombies, Pink Floyd and Sonic Youth — exchanged home recordings and played in each other's bands. Neutral Milk Hotel first took shape in 1989 as a noise-rock trio which played its debut gig at a local laundromat; a year later Mangum, Hart and Doss moved to Athens, Georgia to form the group Cranberry Life Cycle, which later became Synthetic Flying Machine (and ultimately the Olivia Tremor Control) after Mangum's departure. In 1993, he and Schneider relocated to Denver, Colorado, where Schneider soon founded the Apples (in stereo). Eventually, Mangum gravitated to New York, and resumed recording under the Neutral Milk Hotel aegis. After a series of singles and privately-released cassettes including Invent Yourself a Shortcake, Beauty and Hype City, Mangum travelled back to Denver to record the critically-acclaimed 1996 album On Avery Island on Schneider's four-track machine; in the the spring of 1997, he again returned to Colorado to begin work on the follow-up, the brilliant In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. - ------------------ For more info, you might wanna read the reviews for the 2 NMH cd's at amazon.com and/or cdnow.com and maybe you'll like the stuff by Olivia Tremor Control and Apples in Stereo... but I've yet to hear anything by them..... Hope that's good enough for now! mu __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Kick off your party with Yahoo!
