Frogpond Members: Heidi Phillips - Vocals, Guitars Justine Volpe - Bass, Vocals Billy Johnson - Drums Website: http://home.earthlink.net/~sjbentley/ Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Contact/Booking: Columbia Recording artists Frogpond was formed nearly five years ago in Warrensburg, MO. Heidi Phillips created the band as a way to explore her emotional and deeply personal music. After releasing their first recorded offering (the hard to find 2%) they came to the attention of R.E.M.'s Mike Mills, who asked them to play the after-party for the final stop of the Monster tour in Athens, GA. From there, Frogpond was picked up by Tri-Star Music. (A division of Sony Music, which has since merged with Columbia Records). To record their major-label debut, Frogpond asked Everclear's Art Alexakis to produce the album. Recorded at Butch Vig's (Garbage) Smart Studios, the 12 song result Count to Ten landed Frogpond rave reviews in the music press both home and abroad. The supporting tour landed Frogpond shows with such acts as Nada Surf, No Doubt, Pansy Division, and more. (Kansas City pop favorites, TV Fifty joined the last legs of the tour, creating a truly amazing live show). Frogpond is currently finishing up their self-titled follow-up to Count to Ten, which should be available in early 1999. Former members of Frogpond include Tawni Freeland (The Glitter Kicks) and Kristie Stremel (Exit 159)
