Bio from thier wiki:

Justin Sconza and Colin Yarck met in college at the University of Illinois in Champaign, Illinois. Justin grew up in Beverly on the south side of Chicago. In interviews he has said his style comes most from the Real Book as well as the entire catalogs of the Beatles and Nirvana.

Colin Yarck has said he is heavily influenced by the electronic music scene in Chicago. He started making beats with Pat Pelligrini in a basement in Park Ridge, IL, on the north side of Chicago. In 2003 Justin Sconza and Coln Yarck started making music under the name “Walter Meego”, a name for one of Justin’s alter egos.

In the summer of 2003, Justin is rumored to have made hundreds of songs and unfinished ideas on his four-track and put them together on audio cassettes entitled “Walter Meego”. A lot of people got them and they became hip in Chicago.

Justin, Colin and Pat recorded Walter Meego EP in the Park Ridge studio that fall. Starting in January of 2004, the three of them began performing regularly throughout Chicago under the name “Walter Meego.” The band enjoyed initial support from promoters at Chicago venues like Metro, the Empty Bottle and Double Door.

Following the release of “Walter Meego EP” in April of 2005, the UK’s Rough Trade, as well as Internet blogs like Music For Robots began to strongly support Walter Meego.

In the summer of 2005, Pat Pelligrini quit Walter Meego. Soon after, Jarrett Spiegel came on to replace him. After a string of shows and inner-band turmoil, Spiegel was replaced with Andrew Bernhardt in the summer of 2006, who currently performs live as a member of Walter Meego.
