Early years

The band was formed in 1997 by Pall Jenkins (Mr. Tube and the Flying Objects, Palllap, Ugly Casanova and Three Mile Pilot) and Tobias Nathaniel (Three Mile Pilot). The group is often augmented by the contributions of Matt Resovich, Mario Rubalcaba, Jason Crane, Joe Plummer, Dmitri Dziensuwski, Jimmy LaValle and Matthew Parker.[1] Jenkins has also produced The Drowning Men.

Hiatus

[edit]

Blackheart Procession’s last release, the Blood Bunny / Black Rabbit EP in 2010, the band went on hiatus. Jenkins told San Diego City Beat that "[a]fter years of touring and traveling and focusing on music, we decided just to kind of put an end to it for a while".[2][3]

In 2011, Jenkins played optigan, piano and sang on J Mascis's album Several Shades of Why[4] and then returned to play guitar and sing on Mascis's 2014 album Tied to a Star.[5]

Reformation
