Operation: Cliff Clavin

This was my band. we formed after my first band (the ted dancin' machine) broke up against my wishes and i wanted to start a new band and i thought it was important to keep all of our old fans (all 5-10 of them). So that's why i thought it was important to stick with the cheers theme for our name (cheers was a TV show). Chris (of the band LEFT OUT) came up with the name.

we were the first plan-it-x band with a real release on plan-it-x, a 7" record called "top secret". Samantha released it with ill-gotten scholarship money. we were a political pop punk band from bloomington IN. (i guess georgetown IN and louisville KY too).

AFTER OP:CC
Chris and Hannah later went on to form Disarm. Disarm was a minor precursor to The Devil Is Electric, a short-lived pop-punk band similar to Operation: Cliff Clavin that released one full length album.
Chris and Hannah also formed their current (and still active) band, Ghost Mice. Ghost Mice have played (and continue to play) a large role in popularizing the folk punk genre.

REUNIONS
Operation: Cliff Clavin has reformed a handful of times for just-for-fun tours (and even to record a community-released 7" vinyl split with The Max Levine Ensemble), but a full time reunion isn't planned. One of these reunions took place in 2004 at Plan-It-X Fest.
