+ | The Lassie Foundation is an indie band from Southern California. Their style has been described as "pink noise pop." They disbanded in 2006 after having released three albums as well as several EPs, but have reunited several times since then. In of May 2007, Jeff Schroeder became the guitarist for The Smashing Pumpkins, although he was still featured on later recordings. Everett and Campuzano are both former members of [[The Prayer Chain]] and [[Starflyer 59]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Lassie Foundation started during the last Prayer Chain tour in 1996, with Wayne Everett and Eric Campuzano discussing ideas for new music because they knew their current band was winding down. Everett decided to learn guitar so that he could make this band a reality. Prayer Chain guitarist Andy Prickett helped him learn to play. Everett and Campuzano never saw The Lassie Foundation as a full-time band, because the players were Everett and Campuzano plus whoever was available to play other instruments live or in the studio. | ||

+ | 2001 saw a turn in the band’s musical direction with its split soundtrack for the independent film //I Duel Sioux and the Ale of Saturn//, followed soon thereafter by //The El Dorado// LP, their second full-length album. Both albums abandoned their traditional shoegaze elements for a cleaner pop sound. It also marked the end of the band. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In its two-year absence, Lassie received many requests for their catalog, for media placement, interviews, European releases, and tours of Europe, prompting the founding members and songwriters Wayne Everett (vocals), Campuzano (bass), and Jeff Schroeder (guitar) to start writing a new album. Supported live and in the studio by Happy Tsugawa-Banta (vibes & keyboards) and Joel Patterson (drums), The Lassie Foundation reinvented itself on //Face Your Fun//, citing influences such as Echo & the Bunnymen, The Jam, New Order, U2, A Flock of Seagulls, Guided by Voices, and The Jesus and Mary Chain. | ||
