Cootees

The Cootees were formed as a side project by Mike Herrera (guitar, vocals) and Tom Wisniewski (drums) of MxPx, bassist/vocalist Dale Yob of Ninety Pound Wuss, and ex-NPW member Jiles (vocals). At first, the band decided to write and record only songs about parties and the beach, but they quickly realized that their chemistry would allow the band to make more legitimate music. Their debut album, Let's Play House, was released in 1997. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
