One of the guest performers on Vetiver's debut was Andy Cabic's friend, harpist Joanna Newsom. Although widely known for her solo recordings, her first recordings were with the San Francisco garage band The Pleased. The band got their first gig in 2001 with Newsom on keys, frontman Noah Georgeson on vocals and guitar, Rich Good also on vocals and guitar, Genaro Vergoglini on drums, and Luckey Remington on bass. Jason Clark would join the band later adding a synthesizer to the group. The Pleased successfully toured along the West Coast and in England in 2002. Eventually, they gained enough follwing and critical praise in the music press to garner a contract for their debut album Don't Make Things in 2003. The band would continue to tour until 2006 when they finally parted ways (though they still play together at intermittent concerts).
Here is the complete discography for The Pleased:
