Mark Dahm, a veteran of the Midwest music scene, originally formed search for george in 1994 as a cover band with his sister, Mary, and a few friends. Pendery, the band’s manager, joined the lineup on keyboards, and the band followed its 1996 debut CD with 1999’s “A Little Bit Misunderstood.” In 2001, search for george began work on their third record, “3minute Pop Song.” Recorded over a two-week period at Two Fish Studios in Mankato, Minn. and mastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound, “3minute Pop Song” was an instant hit, landing at #20 on the CMJ (College Music Journal) Top 200 ADDS chart (10-29-01) just two weeks after its release.

Dahm and Pendery continue to write and record original songs as search for george.
