Soccer Team is the work of
Ryan Nelson and Melissa Quinley. Ryan has also played with the Routineers, the Most Secret Method, and
Beauty Pill.
The songs on
Soccer Team's debut record were primarily recorded to 8-track 1/4" tape and/or 4-track cassette by Ryan in his basement in Washington, D.C. The songs are a result of desultory late nights, Ryan's gifted, unfailing profusion of ideas and sounds, and Melissa's occasionally obdurate 2ยข.
Although principally a recording project,
Soccer Team does perform live from time to time. The first incarnation of the live band was a trio that featured
Justin Moyer (Supersystem,
Antelope) on drums. In 2013, guitarist
Jason Hutto (
The Aquarium, Motorcycle Wars) and drummer
Dennis Kane began performing with the band.
