Creeper Lagoon is a San Francisco indie-rock band originally started by Sharky Laguana as a solo project in 1991.[1] They are currently on Laguana's digital record label, Neglektra.

History

Sharky Laguana and Ian Sefchick both played in the Cincinnati, Ohio, punk band The Rottweilers while in high school. In 1990, Laguana moved out to San Francisco with his four-track and started Creeper Lagoon as a solo project. Sefchick moved to San Francisco some years later, did a brief stint with The Brian Jonestown Massacre, and then reunited with Laguana in Creeper Lagoon.[2] The lineup was rounded out by bassist Geoffrey Chisholm and drummer Patrick Mangan (who was later replaced by David Kostiner).

In 2000, Creeper Lagoon had a music practice space at the Art Explosion Studios at 2425-17th Street in the Mission District; other bands in this space included Deerhoof, Beulah, Zmrzlina, Don't Mean Maybe, and S-- S-- Band Band.[3]

The quartet released its self-titled five-song debut EP in 1997 on Oakland rap label Dogday. Four of those songs were reworked for the band's 1998 full-length debut, I Become Small and Go, released on the Dust Brothers vanity label, Nickelbag, and featured the production of Dust Brother John King on a few tracks.[2] The band was named Spin magazine's Best New Artist in 1998.[4]

Their success led them to the DreamWorks label for their follow-up, 2001's Take Back the Universe and Give Me Yesterday. After the album and subsequent tour, the band broke up, with Laguana retaining the band name. Creeper Lagoon went on to release an EP in 2002 (Remember the Future) and an album in 2006 (Long Dry Cold).

Creeper Lagoon's song "Under the Tracks" appears on the soundtrack of the 2002 film Orange County. The track has been falsely attributed to Coldplay on many music sites.[5]
On December 6, 2016, the band announced an original-lineup reunion show on February 26, 2017, at Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco, CA.[6]
