The band formed in 1984, initially featuring Tim Sommer (a WNYU DJ, journalist for Trouser Press and The Village Voice, and former member of Even Worse), Greg Letson (who Sommer had met while they played together in the Glenn Branca Ensemble), and Goese.
As an A&R representative, Sommer was integrally involved with the success of Hootie & The Blowfish, and also worked with The Gits, 7 Year Bitch, Michael Crawford, Duncan Sheik, and Scott Weiland.

Sommer wrote for the Village Voice between 1980 and 1984 and worked closely with music editor Robert Christgau; according to journalist Michael Azerrad in his book Our Band Could Be Your Life, Sommer was the inspiration for the lyrics of the Sonic Youth anthem "Kill Yr Idols," in which Thurston Moore questioned his friend Sommer's respect for Christgau.
