Wikipedia

Minimum Chips were formed in Brisbane in 1993 by Julian Patterson on guitars, drums, keyboard and electric piano; Nicole Thibault on vocals, organ, synthesizer and trombone; and Ian Wadley on drums, guitar, trumpet and synthesiser.^[1][2] During their Brisbane years Minimum Chips supported international acts: Stereolab, Bikini Kill and Pavement.

Minimum Chips' first release was a split 7-inch five-track extended play on Chapter Records in September 1995. Two tracks were supplied by Perth-based band Molasses. The group's three tracks were recorded in June of that year at Fortitude Valley, Queensland. Guy Blackman, the label's co-owner,^[3] eventually joined them on bass guitar in 1998.^[4]

In 1996 the group followed with a four-track EP, Blip,^[5] and then a split single, with "Postal" by Minimum Chips, and Alastair Galbraith providing the other side.^[6] Their next EP, Swish, appeared in 1997 via Varispeed Records,^[7] with five tracks, which featured their signature song "Furniture".
