Three's Company
Split 7" single with Seaweed and Superchunk, Simple Machines/Merge/Meat, 1990 (out of print)
It was the Spring of 1990. Three virtually unknown bands decide they're going to go on tour together in the summer, despite the fact that none has a record out. "So, why not *put* a record out?" they all thought. It was a risk but, with only 1000 7"s, they were sure to pawn off at least a few among the 17 band members' relatives. The result? Three's Company, a 3-band/3-label collaboration featuring Geek, Superchunk and Seaweed that went along with the "Wet Behind The Ears" tour of Summer 1990. And the rest is history...
Hammer
Cassette, Simple Machines, 1990 (out of print)
Geek was one of Jenny Toomey's first bands. Although Geek songs appeared on a couple of Machines 7"s and the Fortune Cookie Prize LP, the band never released an album of their own. With a limited audience and only one tour under their belt before the band split up in 1990, it wasn't worth taking a risk. Instead, it became Tool Cassette 1 - Hammer.
