The band was formed in 1991. Miller and Pyle had been playing together in In Cahoots, which had previously also included Hopper.
In 1993, they released a live album that contains material from concerts in England, 1991 and France, 1992. Short Wave was short lived - all members were also busy in other projects and bands.
The album was reissued on CD in 2005 on Voiceprint Records.[1]
