He has also recorded solo under the name Tim Kinsellas. Tim Kinsella got his start musically around 1989, when he and his brother, Mike Kinsella met Sam Zurick and Victor Villareal to form Cap'n Jazz. They were all in school at the time, and it took them a while to get serious about playing music. After going through several name changes, and adding guitarist Davey von Bohlen, the group decided to make music seriously, ultimately garnering a cult following, and fame in the independent music scene of Chicago and the midwest. Cap'n Jazz 1989-1995 Following the release of Cap'n Jazz's first and only album, Burritos, Inspiration Point, Fork Balloon Sports, Cards In The Spokes, Automatic Biographies, Kites, Kung Fu, Trophies, Banana Peels We've Slipped On and Egg Shells We've Tippy Toed Over (also known as Shmap'n Shmazz), and their last show on July 14th, 1995 they disbanded, and member Davey von Bohlen left Chicago to focus on his side project The Promise Ring, which eventually became one of the most influential emo bands of the 90's. Three years after the break up, in 1998, Jade Tree Records put out a double disc compilation, called Analphabetapolothology, which included all the songs from Shmap'n Shmazz, as well as songs from various 7", singles, demos and outtakes.
