Biography

half string made their first noise in the summer of 1991. Friends since high school, Brandon Capps and Tim Patterson shared a penchant for obscure post-punk records that few others in Tempe, Arizona were even aware existed. The pair slowly built their music collections via weekly visits to Stinkweeds Records and recommendations from its owner, Kimber Lanning, who had opened the local indie/import record store at the age of 19.

Upon learning that Kimber’s father was a jazz drummer, Tim and Brandon devised a plan to borrow a drum kit, clear their living room, and invite her over to have a go. Kimber initially declined, insisting she didn’t play the drums, but the scheme eventually worked and the three began meeting up to explore new sonic possibilities.

The following summer, Kimber and Brandon took a trip to Los Angeles and stopped by Independent Project Records to hand deliver a demo tape to label owner Bruce Licher. When they returned to Arizona, there was a postcard from IPR waiting in the post box; Bruce wanted to release a 7” of the recordings of “Eclipse,” “Maps for Sleep,” and “Arc-fold,” as is. The release of a proper record on a label they admired felt like an ultimate sign of the band’s existence.

At the beginning of 1993, Matt Kruse joined half string on second guitar.
