The first line-up featured Armstrong on vocals and Freeman on guitar, as well as drummer Erik Larsen, keyboardist Joey Schaaf, vocalist Andrew Champion, guitarist Grant McIntire, and bassist Joel Wing. The band played their first show at [[924 Gilman Street]] in Berkeley in 1989. Shortly after their debut, Freeman and Armstrong left to pursue other interests.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Boehm |first1=Mike |title=Crashers' Course : Dance Hall's Path Furthers Young America's Education in a Hybrid of Ska-Pop-Punk |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1996-01-13-ca-24301-story.html |access-date=April 2, 2021 |work=Los Angeles Times |date=January 13, 1996}}</ref>
