Alternative rock band which had one big
hit in the mid-
1990s. The
band was formed by four
students at the
University of North Texas in
Denton:
Todd Pipes on
vocals and
bass, his
brother Toby on
guitar and
vocals,
Kirk Tatom on
guitar, and
John Kirtland on
drums.
After graduating, they released their
debut album, "
Home," in
1994. They were signed by
Interscope Records, which released a
modified version of the
album in 1995, followed by the
single "
Breakfast at Tiffany's," which caught
fire as a
pop single, reaching the
top ten by the end of the year.
The band's
success came back and
bit Todd Pipes hard. He was
fired from his
job as an
English teacher at a
private Christian school when the
song began to get
airplay on local
rock radio stations.
