Pell Mell (band)
Pell Mell was an instrumental rock combo, formed in 1980 in Portland, Oregon. History The original members were Arni May, guitar, and Jon-Lars Sorenson, bass, from the Portland avant-garde group UHF; and from local Reed College Bill Owen on guitar, and Bob Beerman on drums. This iteration of the group performed and recorded the songs on their first EP release in 1981, ''Rhyming Guitars'', which gave the group exposure over the nation's college radio network. In 1982 the foursome hired a manager, Bruce Pavitt in his pre- Sub Pop career, and did a summer tour of the US, visiting colleges and punk clubs on both coasts. Arni May left the group just as the tour was ready to hit the road, re-birthing Pell Mell as a power trio. This version of the band can be heard on the album ''Live Cassette'', recorded in a Portland club. With the tour over and a desire to keep playing, the entire group moved to a single house near Berkeley, California, to continue writing and recording the next a ...
