A brief history of Naked Singularity

Naked Singularity's tortuous history begins with a comment by astrophysicist David Palmer in an answer to a question posed to Ask A High Energy Astronomer. From there it was only a matter of time...

The original version of the band performed a gig at the Goddard Rec Center in 2001, following which several members left. The next incarnation of the band (Maggie, Kevin, Rich, and Tali) coalesced in December 2001 and stayed together for the next 4-5 years - that's like a lifetime to a rock band! Sadly Tali spontaneously combusted took a job at MIT. We were sad to see him go. We were lucky enough to have Rob join the band as our new drummer in July of 2006. Joe joined us on guitar not long after.

Want to listen to a brief interview? (Recorded but not used for NASA's Blueshift Podcast. Because it's the most awkward interview ever.) Here's a more, er, serious version of it.
