History:
Following the breakup of previous group Bash & Pop, Stinson, switching back to bass having played guitar in Bash & Pop, formed Perfect along with the group's guitarists Marc Solomon and Dave Philips as well as drummer Gersh. After playing a number of shows, they were soon signed to Medium Cool Records by label head Peter Jesperson, who was also an old manager of The Replacements, were they began recording for a debut EP.
The When Squirrels Play Chicken EP, produced by Don Smith, was released in 1996 to positive reviews with Greg Prato, of Allmusic, stating "fans will undoubtedly be more pleased with his new band, Perfect, which is much more focused, and in the expected drunken-Johnny Thunders guitar-rock style."
In 1997 the group entered the studio with producer Jim Dickinson to produce their debut album, tentatively titled Seven Days a Week. Despite completing the album, it was shelved by Regency Pictures, who had acquired Medium Cool distributors Restless Records, which led to the group's eventual breakup in 1998.The album itself was leaked onto the internet through advance copies were sent out to record labels,however a remixed and resequenced version of Seven Days a Week, retitled Once, Twice, Three Times a Maybe, was released by Rykodisc in 2004. which was, much like the EP, well received.
Post-breakup
Following the breakup, Stinson was hired by Guns N' Roses to replace departed bassist Duff McKagan in 1998 as well as releasing his debut solo album, Village Gorilla Head, in 2004, which featured contributions by Perfect band mates Philips and Gersh. He also joined Soul Asylum, replacing Karl Mueller, and helped finish the rest of the recording for the album The Silver Lining released in 2006.
