Wheatus was formed by Brendan B. Brown in 1998. Brown wrote a few songs, enlisted the help of his brother Peter on drums and Rich Liegey on bass (he was replaced by Mike McCabe after the release of their self-titled debut Wheatus). In 1999, they hired New York attorney Ray Maiello to shop their demo tape and signed with Kevin Patrick at Columbia Records; thereafter, Maiello managed the band briefly.
Wheatus’ first and largest hit was the single “Teenage Dirtbag,” which charted at #1 in the UK. Their second single “A Little Respect” (an Erasure cover) also reached high chart positions, and was another top-3 hit for the band on the UK singles chart. Their third single, a double A-side of “Leroy” and “Wannabe Gangstar” (the single version of the latter featuring Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden), didn’t perform as well.
When the band began work on their second album, Liz Brown (the sister of the brothers Brown) and Kathryn Froggat (Brendan Brown’s then-girlfriend, previously the band’s merchandiser) teamed up for backing vocals. Shannon Harris of Relish (who had supported Wheatus on their earlier tours) signed on as keyboardist, at the request of Brendan Brown.
Due to disagreements with their record label, primarily caused by Brendan Brown’s insistence on self-producing the album (as he had done with their debut), Wheatus’ second album, Hand Over Your Loved Ones, received little or no promotion and did not sell well, with the single “American in Amsterdam” also failing to significantly impact the music charts.

I've only heard Stoopid Guitar live from PS&D - they played FLTL a few times on the last UK tour but not at any of the shows I made it to. I'd kill to hear The Story of the Eggs live, but I'm not holding my breath...

I saw them play to a group of like 15 people in a Trenton, NJ bar last year. Pretty awesome, Brendan took requests from the crowd at the end. Still, there was no Pop, Songs and Death stuff, but quite a lot from the second and third albums, so I was happy.

honestly, TooSoonMonsoon needs more credit here

_deeperthewound escreveu:
Yeah. It can also be frustrating (in a selfish way) because their tours tend to lean more on their poppier material, to please old fans/casuals who only know the first album or Dirtbag. You have no idea how much I'd love a set consisting only of tracks from TooSoonMonsoon and the Pop, Songs and Death EPs...

Saw them do a short set last year. They opened with A Little Respect. I felt sorry for them though, it can't be easy spending a full half hour with 1000 people screaming "DIRTBAG DIRTBAG" at you...
