Formation


While Benjamin Verdoes, Peter Verdoes, Matthew Dammer and Jared Price had previously performed as part of the locally successful Lujo Records band In Praise of Folly, Traci Eggleston and Marshall Verdoes were new to the stage[1][2] They gained notability through local advertising and comical PSA videos on MySpace and YouTube featuring band members before making any of their music public.[3]


Beginnings


Their official debut appearance was July 31, 2008 at Seattle's Neumos,[4] where their self released EP "Weepy" was available for the first time. Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band signed with Dead Oceans in the fall of 2008 and released their self-entitled first LP in the spring of 2009. They toured with Bishop Allen, Cursive, Frog Eyes, Japandroids, The Globes, The Growlers, David Bazan, and Dead Confederate.[5]


Hiatus


In 2011 Benjamin Verdoes put the band on hiatus to focus on his newly-formed duo Iska Dhaaf with Nathan Quiroga.[6]


Reunion


In 2021 the band began quietly recording and releasing music and animated film clips to subscribers on Patreon.com

On June 20, 2022 the band announced their first show in nine years,[7] playing at Neumos in Seattle on July 31. This date would coincide with the 14-year anniversary of the band's debut at the same venue.

Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band released their first commercially available single since their reformation, "Eyes Wide Shut" on July 20, 2022 through Jenny Invert Records [8]/.
