Artist Biography by Steve Bekkala

Following his amicable split with Tool in 1995, Paul D'Amour got together with keyboardist Chris Pitman and Failure members Greg Edwards and Ken Andrews for an offhanded project known as the Replicants. Aside from the obvious Blade Runner reference, the group's name also poked fun at the fact that the Replicants were nothing more than a glorified cover band. Taking on an array of material from Paul McCartney, T. Rex, Pink Floyd, the Cars, and Neil Young, the group released their off-kilter eponymous debut album in late 1995. Shortly thereafter, D'Amour, Edwards, and Pitman went on to form Lusk with former Medicine leader Brad Laner.

Lusk Biography by Steve Bekkala

After departing from Tool in late 1995, bassist Paul D'Amour joined forces with Replicants keyboardist Chris Pitman to form the neo-psychedelic project, Lusk. Accompanied by Failure's Greg Edwards and Medicine's Brad Laner, the collaborators soon journeyed into a Los Angeles rehearsal studio to write and record their 1997 debut album, Free Mars. While not a huge hit, the album managed to attract enough attention to garner a 1998 Grammy nomination for Best Recording Package. Around this same time, Lusk became entangled in legal red tape with their label, prompting the various members to pursue their interests with other projects. Notably, Pitman began a lengthy involvement with Guns N' Roses, and by the turn of the millennium, Lusk's future was beginning to look increasingly uncertain.
