<a href="spotify:artist:6VAgwunYkNusQMrSzVYsaP" data-name="Dark Arts">Dark Arts</a> is one of those bands that for some reason got lost in the shuffle. It was founded in Columbus, Ohio, by a man named Bob Katt, the "cool, older guy" who went to all the concerts in town and had been in a bunch of other bands. Initially there were five members: in '83 there was Bob on bass and percussion, singer Sue Ann Mason, drummer Dave Green, Bill Bruner on guitar and Stephanie Payne on keyboard. Katt is the one who brought everyone together and came up with the name: they were the 'art' band and they were 'dark'. Keyboard player Stephanie Payne, just like Katt, was also present at every musical happening. Young and eager, she would turn out to be the motor and musical mastermind of the group. When she decided to move to Los Angeles, California, Sue-Ann and new member Larry Altvater decided to tag along. By the time they made their first full album, on Phil Druckers (<a href="spotify:artist:6axnf0hQccT5LWiCewXaPQ" data-name="Savage Republic">Savage Republic</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:6K3gGXE0Tih3N44VlF81ug" data-name="17 Pygmies">17 Pygmies</a>) label Nate Starkman and Son, they had split up. Payne decided to move on and continued the band by herself, ever finding new musicians.
