Ms. Lum was born at a party. A photographer friend of Sandy’s threw out the idea: why not start a band? Five friends from Carnegie Mellon decided to give it a shot. No big plan. Just good friends, curious to see what might happen.

What happened went further than any of us expected. We signed with Bar/None Records in Hoboken, the same label home to bands like They Might Be Giants and Yo La Tengo, and released our debut album, Airport Love Song, along with the video for “Jarlsberg,” directed by Bart Freundlich while he was still a film student at NYU. We played all over New York City through the early ’90s, at places like CBGB, the Knitting Factory, and a long list of clubs and small rooms, most of them gone now, a few somehow still around. We also spent a few years moving around the indie circuit between New York, Hoboken, Boston, Albany, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland.

We called it quits in late 1994 while working on a second album. But the friendships never really stopped. We’re all still close today, still seeing each other, hanging out with our kids, and in different ways, still making art together.

Airport Love Song is still floating around on streaming services, sounding exactly like it did back then. Sandy Greene put this site together as a tribute to his great friends, the songs, the shows, and the ridiculous amount of fun we all had together, and to make sure this strange little moment in time doesn’t completely disappear.
