Plum

The power pop trio Plum was formed in 1993 by singer/bassist Steve McAllister and guitarist Jon Bookout, both students at Boston's Berklee College of Music; soon adding drummer Trip Wiggins, the group briefly relocated to San Antonio, TX before settling across the state in Austin. There they cut their teeth on the city's thriving club circuit before signing with the Dallas-based indie Carpe Diem to release their 1995 debut Neptune's Daughters, followed a year later by The Luxury of Wings. Plum resurfaced in 1999 with Trespassing. ~ Jason Ankeny
