Biography
Seattle's Seldom formed in 1997 with Yuuki Matthews (keyboards/vocals), Casey Wescott (guitar), and Pedro the Lion's Casey Foubert (drums). They issued the Places I Haven't Seen EP in 2001 and later joined Sarah Shannon for her 2002 solo tour of America. In between gigs, Seldom recorded their debut album, Romance. Romance was issued on Casa Recordings in summer 2002 and, finally, the indie kids had some solid pop candy to talk about. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide| Discography: Seldom |

This article is about the band named Seldom. For a definition of the word seldom, see the Wiktionary entry seldom.
For the town, see Seldom, Newfoundland and Labrador.
Seldom was a Seattle-based pop-rock trio. Their line-up consisted of piano, bass, and drums, but some songs included electric guitar, mellotron, strings, or other keyboard instruments. They toured in support of both Pedro the Lion (with David Bazan playing bass and providing backing vocals) and Sarah Shannon (formerly of Velocity Girl). Both of their releases were on Casa and their 2002 album "Romance" was distributed by Barsuk Records. In 2002, Foubert joined Pedro the Lion for their album, Control, playing drums and keyboards and co-writing "Penetration" and "Second Best". In 2004, Foubert and Matthews (this time on bass) joined up with frontman Christian Wargo and guitarist Ryan Phillips to create Crystal Skulls. The band originally included Dan Chestnut and Scott Kirby who played guitar and bass, respectively.
