Formed in Seattle, their sound has often been descibed as sponge, as opposed to grunge. The 1995 line-up consists of Anisa Romero, vocals; DJ Fallout, ambient mix and turntables; Bennett James, drums; Gordon Raphael, keyboards; Michael Cozzi, guitar; Juano, bass, Taurus petals, and acoustic guitar. ; Roderick, vocals and lyrics. Two early members now perform with the Posies but this unit prefer a softer mantric approach quite unlike their obvious Hendrixisms.
