McEachern began releasing solo records in 1995, and in 1996 he and Bernard formed The Diaz Brothers, with Jimmy Smith and Keith Langford from The Gourds. The band played McEacherns songs in informal, often acoustic, live sets. During the same period, Bernard also started the band Prescott Curlywolf, and Tim Kinard and drummer Chris Deaner from that group eventually joined the Diaz Brothers to replace Smith and Langford. In the late 90s, Bernard left Diaz to join and tour with The Damnations full time, and was replaced by his brother, The Gourds Claude Bernard, on guitar. By 1999, McEacherns songwriting and the bands arrangements were moving things in a more progressive rock/hard pop direction. The foursome decided to start fresh under the name FantazmaGordo and add Jon Connally on bass. Rob Bernard rejoined the band that year, replacing Claude Bernard who was touring heavily with The Gourds. When Deaner relocated to New York City, he was replaced by Conrad Choucroun from The Damnations. In spring 2001 the band became Mandible and began to build a strong local following. A new rhythm section also came on board, featuring Dylan Jones on bass and Karl Lundin on drums. The current lineup has been together since 2004, With Conrad Choucroun and Karl Lundin sharing the drumming duties.

Ah Mandible, I still find you aesthetically pleasing and overly delicious after all these years. Although your theoretical underpinnings have been rendered a bit post-asthmatic by the re-emergence of American Gladiators as a viable alternative to meaningful brain activity, you valiantly ramble on. And by that I mean you rock.

"Oh my God... Its a Mandible" Why has Jon Stewart said this? Have your people gotten to him? Seriously, click the link for "Mexican Standoff" on the June 28th episode under most recent videos: http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/the_daily_show/index.jhtml
It is about immigration, and yet somehow, it is about Mandible. Hmmmmmm...
