Semisonic are Dan Wilson (vocal, guitar, songwriter)
John Munson (bass guitar)
Jacob Slichter (drums).
The group got its start in late 1992 when Singer/Guitarist Wilson and Bass Player Munson were still members of the high-concept Minneapolis art-rock orchestra Trip Shakespeare. Wilson had been an important - and sometimes underrated - source of that group's musical invention, but by the mid-nineties he had been aching for an outlet for his own harder-edged sound. As he has been with Semisonic, Munson was the physical spark of Trip Shakespeare. His bass lines make grooves fluid and explosive. With the mission of playing a distinctly low-brow batch of covers for some friends at a party, the two joined up with Drummer Slichter, friend of Wilson's from college and a roommate of Munson's for several years. A master and a student of all things funky, Slichter possessed a veritable library of R&B vinyl as well as an album's-worth of his own original songs.
