Jesse Wilder

Jesse Wilder is a musician.

Career

Wilder's first band was The Scholars,^[1] in which he sang, played saxophone and keyboards, then began writing songs with Aaron Barrett for Reel Big Fish.^{[citation needed]} With Isaiah Ikey Owens (Mars Volta) and others he formed Teen Heroes,^[1] which played in the Orange County scene in the nineties and broke up in August 2000.

With Scott Klopfenstein, an old friend from The Scholars and Reel Big Fish, he recorded an album under the name of Pal. Greg Parkin played drums, Ed Kampwirth played bass, and the album was produced by John Avila; however, the album was not released until years later because of Klopfenstein's contract with Mojo Records.

He then made a living playing second guitar, keyboards and back up vocals for Neville Staple of The Specials, Chris Cacavas (Green on Red, Giant Sand, Calexico), and others.^{[citation needed]}

He founded Makeshift Love Affair with Pal's bassist Ed Kampwirth and Chris Clawson of My Superhero and the Neville Staple project. At the same time Klopfenstein had been playing with Greg Parkin on drums, and Wilder joined the group, The Littlest Man Band, and toured that winter in England; they released an album in September 2004 and broke up in 2006, as did Makeshift Love Affair. Since then Wilder has played briefly with The All-American Rejects and did studio sessions.

His most recent band was ForceField On, whose first full-length was to be released in 2007. He also played with Isaiah Ikey Owens in Look Daggers, with rapper 2Mex. With former Teen Heroes guitarist Peter Berberich he made the music for the online multi-player puzzle game system called Skill City Games.
