Treepeople was an alternative rock band from Boise, Idaho, although its members were officially based in Seattle, Washington.
Their early influences included Hüsker Dü, the Replacements, Sonic Youth, Butthole Surfers, Pixies, and Dinosaur Jr.[2] The original lineup recorded the No Mouth Pipetting self-released album in 1989.
After playing numerous regional shows, the band officially relocated from Boise to Seattle, and then released the Time Whore EP in 1990.
Schmaljohn also guested on Built to Spill's 2009 album There Is No Enemy, playing on the song "Pat", a tribute to Brown, who committed suicide in April 1999.
Flower went on to play in Violent Green and The Halo Benders with Martsch and Calvin Johnson (of Beat Happening, Dub Narcotic, and also the co-founder of K Records).
