Bubble

Dave Foster, Tom DeVito and Russ Alderson formed in 1994 as Bubble on NYC's Lower East Side, out of the legendary anti-folk movement that spawned everyone from Beck to the Moldy Peaches. They released their eponymous EP in 1995 to critical praise (compared to Oasis and Blur as well as Weezer and friends The Presidents of the United States of America) and decent college airplay (incl. frequent appearances live on WFMU). Following up in 2000 with the full-length "Bash Bish"produced by Fred Smith of Television), with Russ Alderson and Matt Lindsey on bass, Rich Feridun on guitar and Jon Spurney on keys and guitar. More critical praise and college radio followed.
