 ==Overview==
-Finn had previously been a part of [[60 Wrong Sausages]] and [[Bush]], both of which recorded demos but never released any official music (with the exception of "[[The Answer Man]]" by 60WS, which appeared on ''[[Video Capture Device]]'' a number of years after the band dissolved). Around [[2000]], he formed his own band in Portland, Oregon called "Organic Mechanic". It included drummer [[Talbott Guthrie]], saxophonist [[Joe Cunningham]] (who would later go on to release a solo album through [[Amorphous Records]] titled ''[[Dad Eye]]''), and bassist [[Norm Buccola]]. Before the band's lineup was finalized, [[Pat Wilson]] acted as a temporary drummer, playing for demos recorded in early [[1999]].<ref>[[Recording History - Page 11#Winter - Spring 1999   |Weezer Recording History - Page 11]]</ref> The band played as an opening act for a number of Weezer shows in [[2000]] and was mentioned in multiple [[Karl's Corner]] updates.
