The Possibilities

The Possibilities are most likely better known for the business they keep than for his or her own music, which really is a pity since this Athens, GA, band’s mixture of trippy psychedelia and ’70s-design AM pop would attract any fan from the Apples In Stereo system, Outrageous Cherry, or additional post-lo-fi rings with foodstuffs within their titles. Although their 1st recording wasn’t released until 1999, the options shaped in 1991, originally like a trio of guitarist Kevin Street, bassist Bob Spires, and drummer Matt Street; they officially added keyboardist Jason Gonzalez and second guitarist Chris Grehan in early 1999, soon after the documenting of the first album, THE OPTIONS, that was released on the neighborhood indie Backburner Information later that yr. In this same period, the options had been touring and documenting making use of their friend Jack port Logan as his support band; the music group documented the albums Hype Me In and Monkey Paw with him, in addition to adding to his 1998 cooperation with Bob Kimbell of Strange Summer, Little Personal Angel. (Collectively, the options also supported Todd McBride on his recording Sketchy and added a lot to the 1st recording by Taylor Joiner’s alt-country music group Cafeteria, 2000’s Leg Deep.) A melody from that initial album, the energy poppy “YOU DO NOT Mean It,” was included in the Minus 5 on the 2001 album Allow Battle Against Music Start, and was also chosen because the album’s one, performed by Scott McCaughey, Peter Buck, and Ken Stringfellow on NIGHT TIME With Conan O’Brien that springtime. A new Opportunities one, “Invisible,” made an appearance over the small Seed and Give food to label that calendar year; the song afterwards showed up once again because the lead-off monitor over the Opportunities’ second record, Way Out!, that was released by Parasol in July 2002.
