Service Group

Service Group began in 1999 with two friends from Reno, Nevada that moved to Los Angeles. Starting the band was an afterthought. Dylan Hay-Chapman (guitar) and Kirklyn Cox (drums) were joined by Kevin Whitman on bass. They put out a single and two full-lengths on Portland, OR based Squid vs. Whale records. The band has had a revolving door membership that has included members of Ozma, New MaximumDonkey, and Big In Japan.

The current lineup consists of Dylan Hay-Chapman on guitar and vocals, Daniel Chaidez, Jr. on drums, and Jerard Schwarz on bass.

They have opened for the likes of The Apples in Stereo, The Deathray Davies, and French Kicks.

The band has cited Guided by Voices, Rocket from the Crypt, Supergrass, XTC, The Buzzcocks, and Teenage Fanclub as major influences. Other folks covering the band's music have said as much.
