Guitarist Joshua Clark and drummer Scott Rager were childhood chums, brought along in the positive and enriching environment of a Los Angeles suburb. The two first began playing together in 1995 in a classic rock inspired outfit by the name of Parmalot. Rager brought to the fold the experience of playing to sold out audiences at both the Whiskey A-go-go and the Roxy Theatre in Hollywood, with his then band, Salty Onion.

After high school, Scott packed up his leaving trunk and headed for the lights of San Francisco, where the grass is much greener. It didn't take long for him to encounter bassist Benjamin Chambers on the campus of San Francisco State University. It was a chance meeting at best, but in hindsight, the destiny of both players. Chambers was also a transplanted Los Angelino, thus the roots ran deep. ~ Tea Leaf Green
