With their danceable indie pop styling that remained heartfelt at the same time, the three-piece of
Aberdeen brought on their warm, minimal innocence to their native of North Hollywood, CA. With the lineup consisting of
John (guitar/drum programming),
Jenni (guitar/keyboard/vocals), and
Beth (vocals/bass) providing a lyrical bliss of rainy days, Sarah Records first captured
Aberdeen's sound on the 1994 single
Byron. But following the 1995 release of their second EP
Snapdragon, the trio called it quits with
Beth eventually moving on to form
Casino Ashtrays. As time went by,
Beth and
John came back together and started recording in the spring of 2002 with former
Mighty Lemon Drop David Newton, resulting in the full length
Homesick and Happy to Be Here. Singles The Boy Has Gone Away and Florida followed several years later.
