SeepeopleS was formed in Allston, MA in 2000, when three ex-members of a New England band called Cosmic Dilemma -- Bradford, bassist Dan Ingenthron, and drummer Tim Haney -- decided to keep working together. SeepeopleS hadn't been together very long when they landed a gig opening forCracker at a New York City venue known as the Acme Underground, and after two years of East Coast gigs, SeepeopleS provided their first album, For the Good of the Nation, in 2002. It was also in 2002 that Ingenthron and Haney left the band (for awhile, bassist Keith Mann and drummer Chad Hildebran were on board), although both of them returned in 2004 for a national tour. Other important events forSeepeopleS in 2004 included a move from New England to Asheville, NC and the release of their second album, The Corn Syrup Conspiracy.
