In 1997, during spring semester at Parsons School of Design in New York City, Graham Tyler answered a "musicians wanted" flier placed in local record shops by Sammy James, then a student at School of Visual Arts. The team of singer/songwriter Sammy James Junior and lead guitarist Graham Tyler has remained the heart of The Mooney Suzuki since. After playing on the band's early recordings, drummer Augie Wilson graduated Cooper Union and relocated to Portland, Oregon, working in graphic design.
