Everything about The Natural History Band totally explained
The Natural History was a band comprised of Tepper brothers singer/guitarist Max & bassist Julian, along with drummer Derek Vockins. After playing locally in the New York area and self-recording their own 3-song EP, The Natural History caught the ear of local NYC label
Startime International, whose roster includes
Brendan Benson,
The Walkmen,
The French Kicks, among others. Recording with Greg Talenfeld at Stonehouse studio in Nyack, NY, the band released the finished product as a
self-titled EP in July of 2002. Finally, after nearly two years of fishing for a new record label, the record was self-released by the band in November 2007. One of the songs that ended up on the album, "Don't You Ever", was covered by
Spoon on their sixth studio album
Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. Spoon also included The Natural History's original version of "Don't You Ever" on their EP,
Don't You Evah which was released on April 8, 2008.
After
People That I Meet was completed in 2004, Derek Vockins left the band to raise a family. He was replaced with Ohio native Brad Swiniarski (Townsmen, The Means, Bob City). The band also added a second guitarist and childhood friend, Joachim Kearns (Bob City, Porn on the Cob).
[ Unfortunately, the new line-up never took wings, and the band dissolved shortly after. Currently, there are no plans for the band to get back together.
