“20 Minute Loop’s first self-titled album appeared in
1999, followed by Decline of Day in September 2001 (an auspicious month that was, no?). That
September, we performed in Los Angeles at the Knitting Factory with the Sleepytime Gorilla
Museum, exactly three days after you-know-what, and on the way to our friend’s living room floor
after the show, we saw the streets thronged with overwrought citizens in red, white, and blue,
holding signs, screaming and cheering, while "Born in the USA” blasted from someone’s crappy
sound system. Later that month, we had our CD release party at Bottom of the Hill in San
Francisco. On TV monitors near the front of the stage we showed footage of Bollywood musicals,
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Dumbo, which, we believe, crystallized our own feelings
regarding the ugly turn of events (and corresponded vaguely to our half-baked Hindu theme).
In January 2005, we released our third full-length album, Yawn + House = Explosion. Greg’s
mother has called it “probably the most seminal third release since Lou Reed’s Berlin,” although
Greg doesn’t really know what she’s talking about. It doesn’t sound anything like Lou Reed. If you
want less biased accolades, please Google the album, and you will find much praise. In 2008, we
created a fourth full-length (eventually penned “Famous People Marry Famous People” after
many drunken rounds of Roshambo; Greg wanted to call it—what else?—“Kill Whitey!”, with the
title logo designed like a Krispy Kreme sign. No one else agreed.)
Cue 2010 and the seemingly permanent shelving of the band due to impossible scheduling,
newborn children and brain-rotting graduate studies, only to be revived a few years later for a
reunion show at Noise Pop 2012."
