The Mellowcups were founded in 1997 by Andy&Matt who first met at a Wallflowers gig. They discovered that they have the same love for music and decided to get together to record a few songs. It started out as a loose band project with some musicians that came and went. All contributed to the Mellowcups in their own way and time. Since listening to music and going to concerts always has been more important to Andy and Matt their own band started to be more or less a hobby kind of thing. Growing up in the 70s Andy & Matt had a love for bands like Badfinger, ELO and The Sweet. In the late 80s bands like Camper Van Beethoven, The Jayhawks and Cracker got in their way. Listening to them and seeing them perform made them want to write songs on their own so they both started playing the guitar. Every now and then when the weather is fine and the booze is cheap the Mellowcups get together to make some music. Nobody - not even themselves - know when it's about time to get that thing rolling again.Please check out the MELLOWCUPS splinter groups THE GLORIOUS SALVATION ARMY BAND and THE BAGWEEDS.
