They practiced in Eric's parents' garage.  Tony Kanal went to one of the band's early shows and soon joined the band as its bassist.

Paul Caseley (trombone) also joined the band in 1987. Eric Carpenter (saxophone) joined the horn section soon after.  In December 1987, Spence committed suicide several days before the band was to play a gig at The Roxy Theatre for record industry employees.
