St. Johnny was signed to Geffen by request from members of Sonic Youth and appeared on Geffen Rarities Vol. 1 compilation alongside Weezer, SY, Hole, Nirvana and countless others. Grand Mal, Bill’s next band, put out releases on Slash and Arena Rock (also a home to Superdrag, Elf Power, Luna and Minus the Bear). You can read our post detailing the history of both Grand Mal and St Johnny.

If you like what you hear, consider dropping a few $ to get the cassette or digital tracks.
It makes a huge difference for independent labels and artists.
