Gabardine got together in late 1996 by housemates <a href="spotify:artist:14oSMBOLcIRDr6FDqFRJpD">Chris Hughes</a>, Eric Bemberger, and Joel Petersen, along with non-resident Ben Armstrong. However, the band didn't actually take off until the following year when all four members moved in a house together and recorded a six-song demo. Saddle Creek Records somehow received a copy and immediately brought Gabardine in a studio to record two songs for the Saddle Creek Compilation. With their clashing dual guitar noise and overlaying vocals that are comparative to the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:5UqTO8smerMvxHYA5xsXb6">Sonic Youth</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:7FbdCzKUwoZs1v9bCl43Ev">Drive Like Jehu</a>, the Lincoln, NE, natives eventually released a self-titled full-length in August of 1999 through the funding and distribution of Saddle Creek. ~ Mike DaRonco, Rovi
