Iness was a musical entity spontaneously created in September 1994 by [[Pat Finn]], [[Karl Koch]], and [[Mike Cannamela]]. Mike was not always present, so the bulk of the material was Pat and Karl's doing, but Mike's contributions were essential. Pat's brother Brendan also contributed a few times. | |||
==Overview== | |||
After his prior band [[Winkler]] disbanded around [[1994]], Pat Finn was searching for a way to continue in music, while moving to New York City and living with his to-be first wife. Mike Cannamela had indicated he was also interested in moving to New York, so the two envisioned forming a band there. But in the meantime, Pat was to be wed in Buffalo on [[September 4]], 1994, an event Karl Koch and their friends [[Weezer]] ensured they could attend despite being [[Blue Album Tour|on tour]] at the time (a long [[Betsy|van]] drive from Kansas City ensued). | |||
After the tour leg ended on [[September 25]], the band went to Los Angeles (to film the "[[Buddy Holly]]" video amongst other things), while Karl was sent home to Buffalo to prepare for the next tour leg and await being picked up by the band in their first bus, to start the tour with [[Live]] in Alfred, New York. Pat Finn was in Buffalo at this time, and he and Karl and Mike had a recorded spontaneous jam session in the basement of Pat's dad's house at 271 Depew (where Weezer had recently partaken in Pat's wedding reception dinner). The group had no name at that point, but soon were named "Iness" after a truncated pre-existing name on the re-used cassette tape the session was taped on. | |||

After the final session in March 1995, there was no further Iness activity. Pat Finn and Mike Cannimella did a considerable amount of demos in Brooklyn between [[1995]] and [[1998]], leading to songs that Pat would later use in [[Organic Mechanic]]. The next collaboration between Pat Finn and Karl would be as [[the Melvin Jones Total Soul Attack Orchestra]] in March 1998. | |||
