Guster is an American alternative rock band from Boston, Massachusetts. Founding members Adam Gardner, Ryan Miller, and Brian Rosenworcel began practice sessions while attending Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts and formed the band in 1991. The members met during the freshmen Wilderness Orientation program in August of that year, playing publicly together as a trio two months later at the Midnight Cafe coffee house set in the common area of the Lewis Hall dormitory. While attending Tufts, the band lived at 139 College Avenue in Somerville, Massachusetts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Guster mixes songcraft and humor at Bank of America Pavilion Friday night )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Boston.com / A&E / Music / Guster breezes home with a newfound range )〕 The band stayed "underground" for its first two full-length albums, ''Parachute'' (1995) and ''Goldfly'' (1997), but broke into the musical mainstream in 1999 with its third studio album ''Lost and Gone Forever'', with the single "Fa Fa," which made it onto the Adult Top 40. The band has enjoyed moderate success on the charts with ''Keep It Together'', its fourth album, with two singles in the Adult Top 40 ("Careful" and "Amsterdam"). Joe Pisapia joined the official lineup for ''Keep It Together'', and its follow-up, ''Ganging Up on the Sun'', peaked at 25 on the ''Billboard'' 200. A variety of television shows and movies have featured the band's music, including ''Martian Child'', which featured their song "Satellite"; ''Disturbia''; ''Wedding Crashers''; ''Life as a House'', which makes several allusions to the band throughout the film, ''The O.C.''; and one of the band’s songs was used in an ad for The Weather Channel.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=TWC 2005 Bringing Weather to Life campaign )〕 Guster's tours were originally local, but began to spread as the band gained popularity. In 1999, Guster gave its first performance in Canada, followed by a 2004 tour in Britain that had four shows in London and one in Manchester.〔() 〕 Guster maintains a liberal taping policy and has a very dedicated and active taping community. Despite this policy, the band has released several live shows via iTunes. ==History== The band members met during freshman orientation at Tufts University in 1991. A year later, after writing a few songs in their dorm rooms, the band named itself Gus and booked its first gig. The band recorded its first album independently in 1994, titled ''Parachute''. This album established the band as a favorite of the same 1990s scene that became popular through bands such as the Dave Matthews Band, The Disco Biscuits, moe., Phish, and Widespread Panic. The band was still in college when it recorded the album. Shortly after the release of ''Parachute'', another artist calling himself Gus signed a deal with a major record company, forcing the band to rename itself Guster. In 1996, the band independently recorded their second album, ''Goldfly'', releasing it early the next year. In 1998 the band signed with Sire Records and re-released ''Goldfly''. A year later, the band released the album ''Lost and Gone Forever'', produced by Steve Lillywhite. With the backing of a major label, the band appeared on shows such as the ''Late Show with David Letterman'', and it released their first music video for their song "Fa Fa." The band released its fourth album, ''Keep It Together'', in 2003, with the first single, "Amsterdam," which got significant airplay〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/69286/guster-sets-off-for-headlining-tour )〕 on the radio. A live album/DVD, ''Guster on Ice'', compiled from two shows in Portland, Maine, in December 2003, was released in 2004. Guster released its fifth full-length studio album, ''Ganging Up on the Sun'', on June 20, 2006. The single "Manifest Destiny / Sorority Tears" was released in November 2005 on the Internet.
