Juno (band)

Juno was an American indie rock band formed in Seattle in 1995. Juno released their debut album " This Is the Way It Goes and Goes and Goes" on DeSoto Records on March 30 1999. Their second album "A Future Lived in Past Tense" was released May 8 2001. The band was critically acclaimed by various local and national music journals and has toured throughout the US, Europe and Japan. The band also released a split EP with The Dismemberment Plan which included a cover of DJ Shadow's "High Noon".

The band is now officially defunct. They had played with and auditioned a few different bassists (including Nate Mendel of Foo Fighters and Nick Harmer of Death Cab for Cutie), but ultimately decided that they were going in different directions artistically. According to a post made to the Juno web site by lead singer Arlie Carstens the break up was amicable. Currently some of the former members are working on Ghost Wars, a recording project led by Carstens and Eric Fisher.
