They were part of the "Shoegazer" movement......I got into them via 120 Minutes and then saw them at Lollapalooza. Sad ending on the drummer.
Found this on interwebs, I've posted here before I think but I think this is a cool shot from NJ show I was at:

I remember leaving for that show, my brother was late leaving from work. We had no tickets....got to exit for show and it was traffic galore....people were scalping tix on the road. Some kid walks by selling and we are debating price and cops roll up so he simply jumps in our car! We ended up buying tix.....so we get in thinking the bands would go on in order of "importance"....prior year, small bands went on first and then Jane's Addiction finished. Nope. This year they sort of mixed up the lineup and we missed seeing Pearl Jam. DOH. I do remember seeing Ed in that exact get up walking around though. Smaller than I thought he was.
