The Special Goodness can trace its roots back to 1994, when Wilson made a seven-track demo tape under the name [[Suburban Advantage]].  Using a Dr. Rhythm drum machine (set to the TR-808 kit), it was his first concerted attempt at a quality demo of his own material.

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 releaseUnfortunately, 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.
