The Campfire Girls formed in 1993, shortly after Christian Stone moved from Massachusetts to California and met Pikus at the Miracle Mile district.
[1] Less than a year after forming, in 1994,the band self-released a 3-song EP Sad Dog · Little Wolverine · Post-Coital, on their own label, Boy's Life Records.
The band then attempted to record their debut album, DeLongpre, however the band's recorded and live performances were growing increasingly worse by their growing addictions to heroin, which had started around the time they entered the studio, and the album was ultimately shelved by Interscope.
Years later, the band re-emerged, thanks to the encouragement of Scott Weiland and his brother, Michael, who Stone had been working with as a bartender[2] at a West Hollywood coffee shop.
As part of the deal, the band received the masters to DeLongpre, which was released on Birdman Records in October 2002.
