Biography

The Bay Area's soul-inflected alternative pop group K.G.B. formed in 1994 and earned a strong local following from their energetic live shows. They released a string of indie singles before signing to Dreamworks Records where they appeared on 2000's Road Trip soundtrack and issued the Space Cadet EP. The band, which is composed of Eric "Toby" Tobias (vocals), John "Johnny Genius" Murphy (guitar), Leo "Moses" Kramer (bass), Ben Kramer (organ/trumpet), and Tom Peyton (drums) released their self-titled debut in fall 2001. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
