The Battle for Space
Led by singer/guitarist Peter Prescott, a onetime member of the seminal 1980s post-punk bands Mission of Burma and the Volcano Suns, noise-rockers Kustomized also originally included guitarist/violinist/organist Edd Yazijian, bassist Bob Moses and drummer Kurt Davis (the former frontman for Bullet LaVolta). Formed in Boston during the autumn of 1993, the band honed its chops while supporting acts including Yo La Tengo and Helium; upon signing to Matador, they issued their debut EP The Mystery of Kustomized in mid-1994. The single "The Day I Had Some Fun" followed in 1995, and later that same year Kustomized issued their first full-length effort, The Battle for Space. Former Sugar drummer Malcolm Travis signed on in time to cut 1996's At the Vanishing Point
