Aberdeen was an American rock band, who played twee pop.

History

The band formed in 1993 and by 1994 was signed to the seminal British label Sarah Records; they were one of the only American acts on Sarah. Aberdeen also released recordings through Sunday Records and the Tremolo Arm Users Club. After Sarah folded in 1995, so did the band. They reformed in 2001, signed to Tremolo, and released a full-length album, "Homesick and Happy to be Here", two singles, and a maxi-CD (see discography below).

Possibly the band's biggest exposure came when one of their songs, 'Sink or Float' was featured on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". The song was also included on the UK edition of the series' second soundtrack album, "".

Aberdeen broke up again in 2005 as their members drifted to other projects, though they released a career retrospective CD, "What Do I Wish for Now? (Singles + Extras 1994-2004)", the following year. Lead singer Beth Arzy has also been a member of Trembling Blue Stars since 2000.
