While still in high school, pianist/drummer Thymme Jones was browsing the racks at a Hallmark store when he noticed a category of greeting cards labeled "CHEER-ACCIDENT." Since then, six lineups have passed through Jones' band CHEER-ACCIDENT, and it has endured the loss of one of its members (Phil Bonnet, d. 1999). Throughout the decades, their diverse musical output has ranged from intricate and off-kilter pop, to densely orchestrated, Henry Cow-influenced avant-progressive epics, and abrasively complex "noise rock"/"math-rock" along the lines of bands such as Rapeman and Don Caballero.
