When members of D.C.'s Hoover (Dischord) and Chicago's Gaugedecided to form a group in April 1995, they descended upon Chicago where they wrote, collaborated, andrecorded in one week. Following six days of songwriting, the band drove to theKnights of Columbus Hall in Arlington Heightsto play a single show. The album, InTheir Strange White Armor, was recorded the next day.
In Their Strange WhiteArmorproved to be a fascinating collaboration and the results were highly indicativeof the musicianship behind its creation. Merging precise, flawless songstructures with impeccable drumming, RadioFlyer was Alex Dunham (ex-Hoover,Regulator Watts), Kevin J. Frank(ex-Gauge, Sweater Weather, Traluma,Sky Corvair, Haymarket Riot), Ryan Rapsys (ex-Gauge, Sweater Weather, Euphone, Heroic Doses, Joan of Arc),and Paul Obrecht (Sweater Weather).
Following the Arlington Heights show, tour plans weretalked about but fell through when Dunham returned to D.C. Frank, Rapsys, andObrecht continued to play in SweaterWeather before venturing onto their many other projects.
