Four college freshman descend on the Hampshire College Campus.
Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts was already known for the post-hardcore sound that bands like Dinosaur Jr. and Gobblehoof were making names for themselves with.
After auditions, Miller and "Sharp" met and become the rhythm section (Miller on bass, Sharp on drums) for the already established (non-freshman) and decidedly goth band Myth of Sisyphus (soon to be called Changling then finally, The Garden Party). *[see Myth of Sisyphus concert photo]
