For Squirrels came together in Gainesville, Florida, in 1992: Jack Vigliatura out front on lead vocals, Travis Tooke on guitar, Bill White on bass and Jack Greigo on drums. They signed with 550 Music and made Example, the 1995 album that carried "Mighty K.C.", an earnest, big-hearted slice of alternative rock from a band that sounded ready to break.
They never got to see it happen. A crash in their touring van killed Vigliatura and White, along with tour manager Tim Bender, just as the band was edging toward national attention. Roughly three months later, "Mighty K.C." became a hit on alternative radio, which gave its success a bitter edge.
The survivors carried on under a new name, Subrosa, from 1996 until they finally called it quits in 2001.
