A-Aachen AAL Nevada Jim

"Debbey Richardson lived in Atlanta and performed with bands Magic Bone, Out of It, and in May of 1996 formed the promising but short-lived A-Aachen AAL Nevada Jim with Smith and Ware. Following Ms. Richardson's abrupt and still-mysterious August '96 departure from the group, the very cool Brian Cook, erstwhile bassist of Atlanta tribal rockers Pineal Ventana, joins NV Jim for the remainder of its abbreviated run. In October 1996, after only five live gigs (three in Atlanta, one in Philadelphia, and one in New York), and three studio sessions, the group take a breather. After being bumped from the roster of Smith's Tora! Tora! Tora! festival in December 1996 (too many scheduling conflicts, and To Live And Shave In L.A. was booked, so A-Aachen had to go), the band called it quits."
