OUT. was formed by Rhode Island native Chad Donnelly and Louisvillian Dave Bird in late 1994 after Chad's move to Louisville. After many months of searching the band was completed with the addition of Tony Bailey on bass and Russ Pollard on drums. This lineup quickly made a name for themselves through a series of chaotic shows in and out of town. OUT. had self released a five song cassette demo that had been well received, so with considerable momentum behind them the band entered Melody Hill Farms Recording Studio on Derby Day 1996 to record their debut album. They then left for another tour. Shortly after their return the band was derailed when Tony and Russ quit. Chad and Dave set about searching for a new rhythm section, a task that took them from Louisville to Richmond, VA and back. This new OUT. lineup would feature Matt Odenweller on drums, Greg Livingston on second guitar and a revolving door of a bass position that would be filled by a number of individuals. The next few years saw the band return to Louisville, the release of their debut album, the recording and release of a three song seven inch, plus a couple more tours. In early 1999 OUT. suffered the departure of founding member Dave Bird. The band soldiered on for several months before calling it quits in May 1999.
