Growing up in Florida and Georgia before moving to Potomac,
MD, at the age of 11, indie rock innovator John Vanderslice
grew up listening to a mix of Led Zeppelin, Creedence
Clearwater Revival, the Kinks, and Southern rock,
instilling an eclectic musical vocabulary. Forced into
piano lessons as a child, he eventually picked up the
guitar in the eighth grade and would go on to form various
bands in his teen years. His songwriting went on to add the
influence of David Bowie, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, King
Crimson, XTC, and early Genesis, culminating in his
five-year tenure with the much heralded experimental pop
band MK Ultra. Their collaboration would produce three
well-received albums that would result in an opening spot
on two Sunny Day Real Estate U.S. tours.
