Geggy Tah began with singer and bassist Tommy Jordan and keyboard and guitar man Greg Kurstin, with Daren Hahn also in the fold, and they approached pop like two kids let loose in an instrument store. Formed in 1994 in Pomona, California, they were known for loose, playful live shows where both of the principals kept swapping between a whole arsenal of instruments. David Byrne was a fan, and heard in them something new: a band so steeped in postmodern tricks that they had come through to the other side.
Their moment came on Sacred Cow (1996), on Luaka Bop, and its single "Whoever You Are", a breezy, jazz-tinted strum that drifted out of the speakers like an open car window on a summer afternoon. The band had wound down by 2001.
