History

Phantom 309 was founded in 1988 and issued their debut album, titled A Sinister Alphabet in 1989 on Tupelo Recording Company.[2] It was produced by Jon Langford, known for his work with Mekons and Three Johns, and featured artwork by renowned illustrator Edward Gorey, who allowed the band access to his work for $400.[1] The group disbanded when Mac McNeilly moved to Chicago to play drums for The Jesus Lizard in 1989.[3]
