The calling of San Francisco dark metallers Weakling remains shrouded in mystery and local legend, partly the resultant of their possess efforts. Some of what is known is that they formed in the late '90s and consisted of singer John Gossard, guitarist Josh Smith (better known as a member of the (Ass) Champs), keyboardist Casey Ward, bassist Sarah Weiner, and drummer "Small Sunshine." The band's sole recording, Dead As Dreams, barely even came out, as the original plan had been to only release one copy of the album and give it to a stripling in Europe. (In that respect were besides plans to bury copies of the album and and then give customers maps so that they could attack to find oneself and dig up the album for themselves.) In addition, the band did not duty tour, and by the time Dead As Dreams did come out -- which it did in 2000, to surprising hail in parts of the metallic element metro and on the fringes of the indie careen globe -- the band had already busted up. After their dissolution, Weakling's members stayed busy with a kind of unlike projects -- Smith with the Champs, Gossard with the barbarian metallic element band the Gault, Little Sunshine with death/black metallers Sangre Amado, and Ward with the Kill Rock Stars band the Lies.
