-Dave White, Phil Williscroft, and Brent Gemmill were previously in a band called [[The Clear]]. They decided to change names to Lung. Dave White was also in [[Thin Red Line]] before The Clear. Lung disbanded around 1994. White recorded a solo album //Bad Acid Soundtracks// in 1999 which was later re-released digitally under the Lung banner. Lung then reformed in 2019 with Dave White, original bassist Phil Williscroft, and Dave White's son Zak White on drums.
+Dave White, Phil Williscroft, and Brent Gemmill were previously in a band called [[The Clear]]. They decided to change names to Lung. Dave White was also in [[Thin Red Line]] before The Clear. The band toured New Zealand, Australia, the United States, and Europe extensively, opening for bands like Pavement, Babes in Toyland, and Nirvana. Their debut album //Cactii// was distributed through Ajax Records in the United States, Hyacinth in France, [[Embryo Arts]] in Belguim, and [[Plankton Records]] in the UK. European MTV showed their "Full Moon Again" video.
+In 1993, the band released their second full-length //Three Heads on a Plate//. Their relentless touring and underground success of their songs led to a five album record deal with Los Angeles label Restless Records. The first release was a new version of //Three Heads on a Plate// with three songs dropped ("Mary's Mother," "Venus," and "Exit") and two songs from //Cactii// added ("Full Moon" and "Sleep"). Unhappy with diminishing label support, the band intentionally got themselves dropped from Restless Records.
+Lung disbanded around 1994 or 1995. White recorded a solo album //Bad Acid Soundtracks// in 1999 which was later re-released digitally under the Lung banner. Lung then reformed in 2019 with Dave White, original bassist Phil Williscroft, and Dave White's son Zak White on drums.
+White has also been in other bands such as Tractor, Claire's Un-Natural Twin, K-Tel Dancers, and Surplus Sons of a Factory Nation.

+Due to some interest from Trance Syndicate in Austin, Texas, this album was recorded in Muncie, Indiana. A deal with Trance Syndicate did not happen, so this album was originally released by Yellow Bike Records in March 1995 on lathe cut with fewer than 100 copies made. In 2024 it was re-released digitally on BandCamp.
