released three albums and a handful of singles. Scott Schmaljohn later played in Stuntman, TheHand, and The Treatment. Schmaljohn also guested on
Built to Spill's 2009 album There Is No Enemy, playing on the song "Pat," a tribute to PatBrown, who committed suicide in April 1999. Prior to his death,
