In late 1995, amidst various ''[[Pinkerton]]'' sessions, Wilson found the time to record no less than three different demos as [[Huge Guy]].  These recordings evolved directly into the early 1996 sessions for his debut, ''[[The Special Goodness (album)|The Special Goodness]]''.  Although credited as Patrick Wilson, the album's title belies the fact that it is the true first Special Goodness release.  Unfortunately, it was released only in Japan, and a full two years later at that.

During Weezer's hiatus after the ''Pinkerton'' tour, Wilson revived the project, and began making new demos.  He intended on launching The Special Goodness as a full-fledged band, and employed various musicians, both in the studio and on tours, such as bassists Murphy Karges (of Sugar Ray), [[Mikey Welsh]] (formerly of Weezer), [[Scott Shriner]] (currently of Weezer), [[Pat Finn]], Jeb Lewis and drummer Lee Loretta.

After recording the 2001 self-released disc ''[[At Some Point, Birds And Flowers Became Interesting]]'', the drum kit was filled permanently by [[Atom Willard]] (Rocket from the Crypt, [[Angels & Airwaves]], The Offspring).  While the bass duties remain in flux, Wilson considers himself and Willard to be the official lineup.
