Biography

A short-lived supergroup featuring Jad Fair (Half Japanese), Tim Foljahn (Two Dollar Guitar) and Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth).

"Mosquito brought three old friends together, its genesis a piece of Half Japanese lore. 'I went to a show in Philly with Steve, where he and Jad were going to do some kind of duo,' explains Foljahn. 'I was going to play maybe one song with them. Then I soundchecked with them, and Jad said to just play the whole show. I didn't know any of the songs, but Jad was like, "It doesn't matter if you don't play these songs as long as you play a song."' Before long they were blasting noise out of pitch-shifting dildo toys to crowds at Lollapalooza '93."
--Ben Sisario, Lollipop Magazine
