Halfnelson was the original name of the band that became Sparks. They released one self-titled album in 1971 produced by Todd Rundgren.
The band started when the Mael brothers met with studio guitarist Earle Mankey and their respective creative styles ignited the band to become Sparks. In 1968 Halfnelson had recorded a demo album prior to the official Halfnelson album called "A Woofer In Tweeter's Clothing Demos", selfreleased and distributed with no success to record companies.
