Don Pyle and Reid Diamond invited Dallas Good of The Sadies to step in, and 'Jad Fair & Phono-Comb' was born.
They recorded a single in 1995 and a full-length album, Monsters, Lullabies...and the Occasional Flying Saucer in 1996.
In 1996, they added Beverly Breckenridge (of Fifth Column) on bass, and Reid Diamond switched over to guitar.
As a quartet, they recorded a CD, Fresh Gasoline with Steve Albini producing.
The band toured throughout North America and one of their songs was featured on the soundtrack of the documentary film Pitch.
