Career
edit
Juno released their debut album This Is the Way It Goes and Goes and Goes as a co-release on DeSoto Records and Pacifico Records on March 30, 1999.[1] Their second album A Future Lived in Past Tense was released May 8, 2001, on Desoto Records.[2][3] The band toured throughout the US, Europe and Japan. They also released a split EP with The Dismemberment Plan on Desoto Records which included a cover of DJ Shadow's "High Noon".[4]
The band is now officially defunct. Founding member Travis Saunders the bassist left the band in 2000. They had played with and auditioned a few different bassists (including Nate Mendel of Foo Fighters, Sunny Day Real Estate and Nick Harmer of Death Cab for Cutie), but ultimately decided that they were going in different directions artistically.
After the band's breakup, some of its members formed Ghost Wars, a recording project led by Carstens and Eric Fisher.[5]
Juno reunited to play two shows in Seattle on December 9 and 10 2006 for KEXP's annual Yule Benefit.[6]
