Biography
1. Following the demise of Alligator Gun and LoOmis, Pele was formed in the summer of 1997 by guitarist Chris Rosenau, bassist Scott Schoenbeck, and drummer Jon Mueller. Two weeks before recording their debut album Teaching the History of Teaching Geography, the trio brought aboard bassist Scott Beschta to play keyboards. The keyboards proved to be the dominant musical element of the album as well as its companion remix disc People Living with Animals. Animals Kill People., which included remixes from Bundy K. Brown, Mark Greenberg and future Pele member Jon Minor. Shortly thereafter, both Scotts left Pele. Schoenbeck agreeed to assume Beschta’s onetime bass duties in The Promise Ring, Beschta moved to NYC to join old friends New Rising Sons.
Down to a duo and without a bassist, Rosenau and Mueller soon recruited bassist Matt Tennessen whom they’d worked with in the pre-Pele group Tussin. As a trio, the band discovered their trademark sound, re-entering the studio to record 1999’s Elephant. While to this point critics had dubbed the band post-rock, they now heard the striking jazz elements found in the songs’ collective underbelly. The guitars were now nimble. The bass was rolling. The drums were skittering with angular fills and layered beats.

I never liked enemies. I just don't know, it was kind of boring I never even thought about the fact that they may have other albums. You guys think that I might as well check something else by them out if I didn't like enemies?

funny thing, when polyvinyl records release Pele/Toe split, Pele is at its end and Toe has just started. The pioneer dies before the sucessor. almost same sound. but different atmosphere.
