SNMNMNM is a band that formed in Rochester , New York , US, in 1997. The group's name is a condensation of "Seamus 'n Matt 'n Mark 'n Matt". [1] While completing music degrees at the Eastman School of Music , the band members got together to play outside of their studies in an alternative music band, performing several shows at Java's, a coffee shop directly adjacent to Eastman. Blending traditional brass instruments (like tuba, trombone, and trumpet) with electronics , the band self-released their first album and toured before relocating to Los Angeles in 2002. [2] Media attention built [1] [3] [4] as the band released an EP in 2002 and a full-length in 2003, continuing to tour behind the records. Their album, As Best As We Can reached #65 on the CMJ charts and was covered by The New York Times . [5] All of the songs on As Best As We Can feature exclamation points in their titles. [6] Their newest album, Crawl Inside Your Head was released on September 18, 2007. [5] [7]
For a very short time in Rochester, drummer Chris Vatalaro (another graduate of Eastman and original drummer for the band "Jerseyband") played drums for SNMNMNM.
