| Menthol Hill was a Los Angeles-based band from 1995 to 2002, formed by Eric Forst, Brian Glascock, John Connors and Kedron Parker. When the band wasn't busy recording on its 4-track in a closet, they could be found out back, watching haze float down El Sereno hills. Lorenzo Buhne would be busy at the board, polishing the sound. Over the course of eleven-hundred beers and 12 different line-ups, the band played at Mr. T's, Al's Bar, Spaceland, and the Silver Lake Lounge. Members included Mark Mastopietro, Jeff Kettle, Craig Manrique, Sheri Ozeki, Denise Bonis and Lisa Nardoni. |
