Bibles for China is a collaboration between three good friends which initially formed and unformed in the spring and summer of 2000. Songs from that era were based on free-form "jams", not unlike the music of Neu! or Faust but with a decidedly mid-western/indie rock patina. Ben, Jim and Brad had a fucking good time playing for nobody but each other at Zespy's "Diesel Lab" Studio in West Fargo. Much to the amazement of all three founding members the project was resurrected in the fall/winter of 2006 after a few emails and a lot of worrying.
