Minded was started in the fall of 2002 during our Sophomore year of
high school at Deerfield. The name came from Adam Horne, Zach
Lewis and Lee Oliff when we realized that the name Starfish sounded to
glitzy to us. Lee called me up and told me the name ABSENT
MINDED. I thought "hey that sounds pretty good" so it
stuck. A combination of Scott Blair, Jimmy Beringer, Lee Oliff,
and Josh Abrams got together about once a week and practiced. We
made up songs, played old ones, and played covers. One in particular
was "I ran" by "A Flock
of Seagulls". You all know it as "the song from vice
city". We recorded it with no vocals, and in my opinion it
sounds like shit. A month or so later, we lost our drummer and
ever so often, Lee and Jimmy, and sometimes Abrams get together and
play. So here is the "band"
as of 2003.
