History

The band formed when bassist Paul D'Amour, having recently departed from Tool, and keyboardist Chris Pitman got together. Greg Edwards and Brad Laner joined them shortly afterward. Their only album Free Mars was released in 1997 on Volcano Entertainment. Though the album was not extremely successful, it was nominated for a Grammy in 1998 for Best Recording Package. The music video for Backworlds, co-directed by D'Amour and Len E. Burge III, was featured on MTV's 120 Minutes and 12 Angry Viewers.

Legal troubles with their label Volcano Entertainment which was undergoing a transformation coupled with increasing activities apart from the group by all members caused Lusk to quietly disband in the late 1990s.

gollark: <@332271551481118732> Do you think I can find minoteaur contributors? All I need is people who know Nim/web stack, can somehow fit with my programming style, and who share approximately the same extremely vague vision.

gollark: Interestingly, according to heavpoot, the 34th version of minoteaur is to be rewritten in heavlisp 7.0 after it subsumes JavaScript.

gollark: All insanity can be bidirectionally mapped to an instance of heavlisp.

gollark: Heavlisp is isomorphic to insanity.

gollark: With the lessons learned from osmarkslisp™ it might even have working scope. Although this one also might. I haven't checked.
