Formed in the fall of 1994 in the town of Harrisonburg, VA, Sleepytime Trio originally consisted of members Drew Ringo (guitar), Ben Davis (bass), and Jonathan Fuller (drums). A year later, it became a quartet with the addition of second guitarist Dave Nesmith (he and Ringo had previously been members in another band, Maximillian Colby). The group issued their lone release, the half live/half studio Memory Minus, in 1998, the same year the group went on hiatus. But the break didn't last long as they regrouped in December of 1999 for an East Coast tour. ~ Greg Prato
