RACECAR formed in the summer of '93 when the Brians got together with bass and drums. Brian Mclaughlin invited Chris over to come play guitar. Werner was interested in what his brother was doing so Chris asked him to come along. At the time, Werner was also a drummer and a band with two drummers rarely makes it to the big leagues. The solution? Werner buys a Mexican telecaster and comes on as a second guitarist. Brian Gray asks Jina if she would like to sing for the band. He knew that she was no longer with her band, Lorelei, and thought that she might be free. She was. RACECAR was formed. We started out under the band name "Paint" but later had to change the name due to another band being called that (see discography). We tossed some other names around (including some too hideous to mention) and came up with RACECAR.
