GEEK Hammer 1992

 

Discogs

 

Geek was one of Jenny Toomey's first bands. Although Geek songs appeared on a couple of Simple Machines 7"s and the Fortune Cookie Prize LP, the band never released an album of their own. With a limited audience and only one tour under their belt before the band split up in 1990, it wasn't worth taking a risk. Instead, it became Tool Cassette 1 - Hammer.

MY NEW BOYFRIEND Super Saw 1992

Discogs

In the fall of 1990 Jenny Toomey moved to Olympia, WA for about a month. While she was there she formed a band with an unlikely pair of people - Tobi Vail from Bikini Kill and Aaron Stauffer from Seaweed. Within a month they'd not only written songs, but had recorded them as well. The results ended up on Supersaw cassette.

A1	Toast
A2	My Side Of The Story

LIQUORICE Listening Cap 1995

Discogs

Artist Biography by John Bush

Jenny Toomey (Tsunami, Grenadine) and Dan Littleton (Hated, Ida) had played together on and off for seven years before Ivo Watts-Russell (the head of 4AD Records) approached Toomey about doing a side project. She agreed and traveled to Livonia, MI, with Littleton to record at the basement studio of Warren Defever, guitarist and producer for His Name Is Alive. HNIA drummer Trey Many became the third member of Liquorice during the recording sessions. 4AD released Listening Cap in mid-1995.
