History
The beginning
In February 1992, the band recorded a 5-song EP on 1/2" 8 track in McGee's garage. The resulting album, entitled "Dead Slow Hoot", was the first release on LFM Records and saw a limited printing of 300 cassettes. The response was promising, and after sending the tape out to zine and record labels, McGee received calls back from labels such as 4AD, Warner Bros. and Capitol Records.
At this time, Earwig consisted of Lizard McGee on guitars and vocals, Chuck Palmer on drums and bassist Jeff Perkins. The group was soon joined by Terry Lo on guitar and cello. The four-piece began playing shows as they worked on their debut CD, Mayfeeder. With the release of this CD, Terry Lo and Jeff Perkins left the band and Rich Cefalo joined on bass for the nationwide tour.
