The Minders is a band closely associated with The Elephant Six Collective. Started by Martyn Leaper in Denver, Colorado in 1996, the band's original members included Leaper on guitars and vocals, Rebecca Cole, on drums, Jeff Almond on guitar, and Marc Willhite on bass. Leaper formed the Minders in Denver along with Robert Schneider and Hilarie Sidney from The Apples in Stereo Together they recorded ''Paper Plane EP'' in Athens, Georgia. Leaper recorded the "Come On & Hear 7" in Denver, Colorado, allegedly one of the fastest selling Elephant 6 releases in history. At this time, Leaper began attempting to form a more permanent band after releasing "Paper Plane" on 7". With a permanent lineup set, the band was able to release ''Rocket 58'' as an EP and sign to spinART Records, who released their first album ''Hooray for Tuesday'' in 1998. Touring and the release of some other singles ensued, and the band split, with Leaper and Cole moving from Denver to Portland, OR and recruiting future Jicks bassist Joanna Bolme. The minor upheaval resulted in the eventual release of ''Cul-De-Sacs And Dead Ends'', a compilation of singles and b-sides. Bolme left the Minders shortly after the release of the band's second proper album, ''Golden Street'', in 2001. Almond and Willhite regrouped with the band in time to release their third album in 2002, ''The Future's Always Perfect''. In the spring of 2008, Cole left the band. In 2011, they reunited and recorded a track for ''2011 PDX Pop Now!'' CD. In 2012, they released a new Singles and B-Sides album, Cul-de-Sacs and Dead Ends Vol 2. This album is available via www.themindersmusic.com ==Discography== The Minders have released their albums on spinART, but have also released a number of EPs and singles on a variety of record labels. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Minders」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
