The banding recorded one album and played about Kansas for around a class and a half in front dissolution in 1997. Then, Riffel met Peterson and they worked with various musicians with the sole estimation of playing songs that were fun and writing lyrics that represented real life as they saw it. With Joe Weaver (from Cockpit Biscuit) as the drummer, the trio continued to write and play gigs locally. They shortly chose the distinguish mi6 and off the road touring. In 1998, mi6 cut off its first base self-titled demo and began opening for bands such as Ten Foot Pole, L7, the Suicidal Tendencies, and Good Riddance.

In March 1999, Peterson and Riffel met David White (guitar and backing vocals) and Jimmy Coles (drums and rhythm section) whose isthmus 2 Player Option open for them. The iV plant their styles fit perfectly.

Spike Lee set to film Stew's Tony-winning rock musical 'Passing Strange'
NEW YORK - Spike Lee will film "Passing Strange," Stew's rock musical journey of self-discovery, during performances next week at Broadway's Belasco Theatre, it was announced Wednesday.
The movie, budgeted at about $2 million, will be shot July 19 at both the matinee and evening performances, Steve Klein, the film's producer, said Wednesday at a news conference. The stage production will also be filmed at two other times in the theatre without audiences present.
"Musicians are the greatest artists on this Earth," said Lee, a big fan of the musical since seeing it at the Public Theater last year. "What we are really doing is really a hybrid. We are filming the play."
Lee, director of such films as "Do the Right Thing," "Malcolm X" and "She's Gotta Have It," said there would be surprises in the film but declined to amplify. "Then it wouldn't be a surprise," he said.
Klein, also one of the producers of the Broadway production, said a distribution deal for the movie had not been set, either for release as a feature film or for showing on a premium cable channel.
"Passing Strange," written by Stew and his longtime collaborator Heidi Rodewald, was workshopped at the Sundance Institute in Utah and was done at Berkeley Rep in California before coming to off-Broadway in 2007. The show opened on Broadway in February to enthusiastic reviews.
The musical tells the show of a young musician, played by Daniel Breaker, who travels to Europe in search of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. Stew wrote the show's book, which won a Tony Award in June, as well as the lyrics. He co-wrote the music with Rodewald. The director is Annie Dorsen.
Stew was born Mark Stewart, but uses just the name Stew.

During 'Little Bird' two female dancers joined Goldfrapp at the front of the stage, performing a sexual slow, dance which involved the pair cupping their own breasts and bending over to show their backsides and white knickers to the audience.
Later in the set, during 'Happiness', four dancers, clad in flamboyant body-tight suits danced in unison at the front of the stage.
"I insist you join in this one, please!" declared Goldfrapp before playing 'Ooh La La' as the crowd responded with enthusiastic cheers.
The eroticism of the set went up a notch during 'Caravan Girl', with two bikini-clad pole dancers performed impressive moves on poles erected at the back of the stage, this was followed later by two dancers in bikinis and wolf masks who gyrated at the front of the stage and posed provocatively for the cameras.
