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

-By March [[2004]], the Organic Mechanic page on Amorphous Records stated that Finn was recording new material for a non-Organic Mechanic project with Guthrie, and in February [[2009]] an update was added claiming that Finn and Guthrie were ready to launch the new band.<ref>[http://www.karlophone.com/amorphous/index_OM.html ''Organic Mechanic'' on karlophone.com]</ref> No further updates were made to the page, and it is unknown what became of the project.
+By as early as March [[2004]], Finn and Guthrie had separated from Organic Mechanic and began work together on a new project,<ref>Amorphous Records. "Organic Mechanic.

Nothing is known to have ever officially released from this project, and both members have since parted ways to perform in different groups.
