It was formed when Mark Arm left Green River, and joined up with former Green River bandmate Steve Turner. Turner had left the band before Arm, but both left for similar reasons. They were joined by drummer Dan Peters, and former Melvins bass player Matt Lukin (replaced in 2001 by Guy Maddison formerly of Lubricated Goat).
