PINWHEEL John Surge and Jeff Donahue
knew each other while they were playing in different bands around Long Beach,
CA. John put out a fanzine, and Jeff owned a rehearsal studio where tons of
bands in the scene rehearsed. The two got to talking about music and what
they wanted to do; soon they were writing a whole albums worth of material
that would become the Trouble Doll CD with the goal of creating a guitar
album inspired by the spirit of bands they loved, like The Replacements, X,
Frank Black, and Husker Du. After enduring various lineups, John and Jeff
hooked up with expatriate Australian bass player Fluffy and drummer Matt 'O
Connor, who played with Flourescein and toured with The Plimsouls. To
record Trouble Doll, John and Jeff put together a ragtag home studio and
brought in producer Jim Oddo to help guide them through a recording that would
capture the band in all its ragged glory. With the songs recorded, the band
circulated tapes to every indie label they could track down. Soon they hooked up
with kindred spirit Dave Lebental of Pinch Hit Records, an upstart label
in the bands own South Bay area. DISCOGRAPHY:
