Biography

Austin, United States (2002 – 2007)

Sound Team was a U.S. band based in Austin, Texas. Several of the band’s previous and current members - including Bill Baird, Michael Baird, Will Patterson, Jordan Johns, and Sam Sanford - attended Alamo Heights High School in San Antonio, Texas, where they played music in several different loud ensembles.

Bill Baird and Matt Oliver met in Austin in 2001, when each was a sideman in one of the many pick-up groups playing the beer joints around town. They formed a partnership, and they immediately began recording music that drew inspiration from a variety of sources — from traditional American folk and pop song forms to German synthesiser music.

In 2002 Baird asked his younger brother Michael, Michael’s friend Jordan Johns (both of whom were still in high school at the time), and his old friend Sam Sanford whether they’d like to form a band. After they had played a handful of shows in various performance spaces and punk dives, Gabe Pearlman enlisted and the lineup was solidified by early 2003.

The group released a seven-inch and several cassettes, and their audience continued to grow. After touring throughout 2003 and 2004, the group continued to work dead-end jobs, pooled their cash, and converted an abandoned record-pressing plant into a make-shift analog recording studio. The result was the Marathon LP, which appeared on the St Ives label, a vinyl-only imprint of Indiana’s Secretly Canadian. In the Autumnl of 2005, several songs from previous cassette and vinyl releases appeared on the WORK EP.

    How do I get a hold of their stuff that isn't on Movie Monster or Work? I'd love to acquire it legally if I can. But more than that, I'd like to acquire it SOMEHOW.

    Bedroom Walls is the most beautiful song I have ever heard in my entire life. It is a masterpiece of songwriting. RIP SOUND TEAM though I do agree {{{SUNSET}}} is amazing.
