Picking up where the Miracle Workers' classic 'Inside Out' left off, Gerry Mohr and Robert Butler,members of garage legends the Miracle Workers and Untold Fables,promised to ignore all the modern trends and bring to the world the most fuzzed-out psychedelic/garage trio yet: the GET LOST!
After the Miracle Workers ended in the early 90s Robert Butler moved to Switzerland and played with bassist Kat Aellen in the heavy psyche group "Bishops Daughter". Throughout the 90s Butler and Aellen produced and engineered recordings for dozens of bands wanting their trademark hard-hitting sound including a number of releases on the highly-respected Voodoo Rhythm label. With Voodoo Rhythm chief Lightning Beat-Man, they shocked and sickened audiences across Europe in the legendary spectacle/ritual/show/circus, the Bad Taste Rock'n'Roll Revue.
Meanwhile, former Miracle Workers vocalist Gerry Mohr was singing under the name "Malcolm Crowne" for the American psyche super group the Cavemanish Boys, whose album was released in 1999. Mohr moved to Switzerland in the summer of 2000, and during a casual jam-session the three realized there was unfinished business at hand. They resolved to form a new band, one which would put to work all they had learned in their years of writing, performing and producing the world's greatest psyche and beat music.
Believing that only the loudest and most savage rhythms could compliment the howling fuzz of their songs, it was decided that Chris Rosales, also an American ex-patriot and drummer well-known around Switzerland and elsewhere for his pounding with Lightning Beat-man's group, "The Nerver Heard Of 'Ems," The "In-Sekt", "Les Super Supers soul revue", and currently with The Reverend Beat-man's band, would be offered the chance to regularly destroy his drums on-stage with The Get Lost.
After signing a lucrative deal with Voodoo Rhythm Records in 2001, the band flew to London to record their debut waxing, "Never Come Back". The trademark "vintage" sounds from producer Liam Watson's Toe Rag studios proved a perfect match for the Get Lost's dynamic rock'n'roll attack.
In the fall of 2001 Bassist Kat Aellen left the band to devote more time to her new band the Mad Cow Girls. A few months later with Butler now on bass, the Get Lost emerged as a three piece ready to head out on the road for their first tour of Europe in Spring of 2002.
The first Get Lost tours included stops in Voerde and Munich in Germany and Limoges in France where the band opened for the legendary Pretty Things. While on the road in May of 2002 with the Reverend Beat-Man, the Get Lost cultivated a greater audience in Germany picking up more fans in places like Berlin and Dresden. Some highlights in summer of 2002 included the Festival Beat in Piacenze, Italy and a handful of open air concerts in Switzerland.
In winter of 2002 The Get Lost was again on tour in Germany. In Solingen, they teamed up with old Los Angeles buddy Rich Coffee who was in town playing with his new band the Excessories. He joined the Get Lost on stage later that night and proceeded to blow minds with MC5 and Stooges covers.
Unfortunately personal problems between band members became too difficult to bare and in February 2003 the Get Lost played their last show at the Bad Bonn in Düdingen, Switzerland.
Although only lasting a few years the Get Lost left a lasting legacy on a growing Swiss garage rock scene, and are often cited as an important influence on current bands in the genre.
