This was a house/practice space/hang out in Louisville where at the time, Beveridge Bean was practicing with the band she was in with Tara Key and Tim Harris: the Zoo Directors.

Their first self-titled EP in 1987 introduced the hallmarks of EDD's sound: Neil Young-inspired[1] electric guitar workouts mixed with punk energy.

[citation needed][2] The band's full-length follow-up, Prairie School Freakout (1988), won critical praise and the attention of major labels.

[3] The band made a stab for commercial success with 1993's El Moodio, but the effort was unsuccessful and EDD was dropped from Atlantic's roster.

Recent albums have balanced the band's Young-influenced approach with an interest in ambient sound, likely influenced by McCombs's work with Tortoise.
