They formed the group and invited Alex Katunich, a bassist, to join them. The band's name is actually the name for a mythological demon what seduces sleeping women. From 1993-1994, their math and music teacher booked music dates for them. Their first paying gig was in Hollywood at the Roxy theatre. Soon after they were performing at clubs like Whisky and The Troubadour. They met Jim Wirt, a local record producer and musician in 1995. He offered to let them record their first album in his studio, however, because of a lack of interest from the record label, the band soon moved on and released the album on their own label.

Their third album, Make Yourself, was released in 1999 and the group began touring with Primus and Buckethead. "Privilege" and "Pardon Me" were the first songs released.
