The San Francisco club scene was their first action field and during three years they managed to record a series of EPs and singles that turned out to be compiled on their first full-length record, Coriander Salamander released in 1994 on the Switchtrack Records logo. In the year after, the California crew signed on with Headhunter Records, which eventually released their second album, Amy Armageddon, in 1996, distributed by Cargo Records. A whole year of touring followed, before Lippi decided to leave, being substituted by Dee Galway. Following the alignment change, Carlos moved to Amazing Grease Records, a label headed by Scott Kannberg of Pavement, before guitarist Richard Marshall joined the band in 2000, therefore establishing the crew as a four-piece.
