San Francisco indie-rockers
Actionslacks assembled singer/guitarist
Tim Scanlin, bassist
Mark Wijsen and drummer
Martin Kelly. Formed in 1995, the trio recorded the entirety of their first demo in a breakneck 11-hour session, soon signing with the Minneapolis-based indie label Skene! to release their 1996 debut LP
Too Bright, Just Right, Goodnight. For 1998's One Word,
Actionslacks signed with Arena Rock, subsequently touring with labelmates Harvey Danger. The new millennium was a growing period for the band -- bassist
Ross Murray and guitarist/vocalist Doug Modie joined
Actionslacks and the long-awaited third album
The Scene's Out of Sight was issued in early 2001. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
