about
There are at least two bands on this page: a band called Baskervilles and a band called The Baskervilles, whose scrobbles sadly get auto-corrected... 1. Christoph Gerozissis, Rob Keith, Stephanie Finucane and Craig Van Orsdale formed Baskervilles in New York, NY, United States in 1997. The members played together for years in trashy punk and garage rock bands (one called the Baskervils started in 1993 in Tampa). Bored with loud rock and inspired by the Television Personalities, the Clientele, the Kinks, Love, the Left Banke and French Pop played by DJ Franco at the Vampyros Lesbos party in New York City, Baskervilles turned the amplifiers down to perform high energy keyboard driven pop at low volumes. The lyrics were designed to be simple narratives and open ended romantic stories, many pertaining to New York City. From 1997 to 2002, Baskervilles performed a handful of well received shows at the Mercury Lounge in the East Village. During that time, Baskervilles recorded 2 sessions at Mitch Easter’s (Let’s Active, R.E.M.) Fidelitorium studio in North Carolina and 1 session at Dubway Studios in New York City. The group made one trip outside of New York City in the summer of 2002 to perform at a museum opening at the Migros Museum in Zurich, Switzerland featuring the artwork of Yayoi Kusama and Michel Auder. The band took a 2 year break while Stephanie had a baby. Rob Keith and Christoph Gerozissis formed a nocturnal electro group called Autoparty and put out an album call
