Richard Patrick (vocals, guitars, bass, programming, drums)
and Brian Liesegang (programming, guitars, keyboards, drums) both
experimented with electronics early in their careers. Patrick was a member
of the original touring incarnation of Nine Inch Nails. After NIN
finished its lengthy first tour in the early '90s, Patrick and Liesegang met
through a mutual friend and began to record industrial rock together.
Their debut album, Short Bus, released on Reprise in 1995, was recorded
by the two at a small house on the outskirts of Cleveland. Short Bus
became a surprise hit, thanks to the MTV and alternative radio hit "Hey
Man, Nice Shot"; by the end of the summer, the album had reached gold
status. Liesegang departed in 1997, but Patrick retained the Filter name
for 1999's Title of Record.
