Biography

Cool for August formed in Los Angeles in 1993 when L.A. scene vet Gordon Vaughn first teamed with Canadian expatriate guitarist Trevor Kustiak and drummer Shane Hills. After the addition of Maryland native Andrew Shives on bass, the group soon cut a demo tape, but fended off label interest until signing to Warner Bros. in 1995. A move to Atlanta followed to record Cool for August's 1997 debut Grand World, an album featuring guest appearances by onetime American Music Club members Mark Eitzel and Bruce Kaphan. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

Cool for August was a rock band consisting of notable Canadian singer-songwriter Shad Hills on guitar, Andrew Shives on bass, Gordan Vaughn on vocals, Trevor Kustiak on guitar, and Shane Hills on drums. They made their television debut on Late Night with Conan O'Brien with their hit song "Trials". While it wasn't their highest-charting single, "Walk Away" was considered their most accessible song and received its own single in stores. The band resurfaced a few years later in 2001 (after long speculation that the band had broken up) with an online single "Say it isn't So". The band completed a demo of six songs (produced by Jeff Tomei and Joey Huffman), about half of an anticipated upcoming album. However, with no more support from Warner Brothers or any other major labels, the band called it quits.
