“We didn’t know dick about what we were doing, other than the desire to get out and play for people,” Anderson said. Playing pop punk, the three members spent a chunk of their twenties tooling around the nation in a cargo van and trailer.
In 2003, Anderson and Ginsberg reunited in Los Angeles they recorded an EP and then coaxed Depew to join them. A few years later, while attending Standley Lake High School, Joe Ginsberg (bass, guitar, piano) joined them, forming a jazz trio.īut they took separate paths after graduation in pursuit of higher education and stable career paths, living in different states. In the mid-1990s, Anderson (vocals, guitar, bass) and Chris Depew (drums, backing vocals) started playing music together at Mandalay Middle School in Westminster, Colorado. Through hard work, unswerving dedication and frontman Sloan Anderson’s cheeky charm, the likable power-pop punks of Single File drew the attention of a major label before concluding their career.
