The Lampshades were formed in early 2003 in central Pennsylvania by lead singer/guitarist Jaren Love. Along with Love, The Lamphades consisted of drummer Josh Imler and bassist Christopher Kibler. The Lampshades early releases included the lo-fi gems "Demo 1", "Demo 2", "Scott", "Random" and "Surf". Although these early discs were hand assembled with jewel cases, CD-Rs and handwritten liner notes, the music caught the ears of some people in the music biz, including video producer Jonathan Buchanan and Prison Jazz Records.
