In [[1988]], Finn moved to Los Angeles from San Francisco, and attended the Musicians Institute. There he met fellow students [[Matt Sharp]] as well as (among others) Dave "Burdie Cutlass" Georgeff and [[Tom Gardocki|Tom "Soda Pop" Gardocki]], future members of [[Wax]]. Afterwards, Finn returned to Buffalo and remained there from the summer [[1989]] through the spring of [[1990]], writing, recording, and practicing songs and working various jobs. While living in Buffalo he met [[Patrick Wilson]], who was working at a music store called Music Mart in the suburb of Amherst, giving drum lessons to children. The two instantly hit it off, musically and personally. | In [[1988]], Finn moved to Los Angeles from San Francisco, and attended the Musicians Institute.

In | In May [[1990]], Finn moved to Los Angeles to return to the music scene there, and implored Wilson to come with him. Wilson has stated that he knew he had no prospects in the Buffalo area, and was eager to get his music career started, so he instantly accepted Finn's offer, without hesitation, despite having no plan, few possessions, and little money. | ||
In Los Angeles, the two lived in a low income apartment on Gordon Ave. near Hollywood Boulevard (considered a crime-rampant neighborhood at the time). Finn introduced Wilson to the future members of [[Wax]], as well as to Matt Sharp. Finn and Wilson were determined to start a band. The two recorded 4-track demos and formed a band called [[Bush]] with Finn's Musicians Institute acquaintance [[Tom Gardocki]]. Sharp was, at this point hanging around and living with some of the future Wax members, but didn't get along with them. Sharp would get his own apartment in Westwood, and became involved with a social activist group known as the Black Rock Coalition. | In Los Angeles, the two lived in a low income apartment on Gordon Ave. near Hollywood Boulevard (considered a crime-rampant neighborhood at the time).
