Mickie Rat attended [[Sacramento State University]] where he met D.J. Willis (a guitarist with whom he worked on the college radio station) and a drummer named Dave Leon.

The band went through a number of lineup changes, including Mickie Rat being temporarily replaced while awaiting rescue during the [[1991 Sacramento hostage crisis]], and various short-lived members through the mid to late 1990s. Kevin Stockton joined in 1999 as a touring guitarist, replacing Morgan Giles, who did not want to tour, and in 2000 replaced Morgan entirely. The lineup then stabilised for several years, with Danny Secretion on drums, Mickie Rat on bass, and Kevin Stockton on guitar. The first album released with this lineup was "Til Death" (2002).<ref name="mrr"/> Stockton remained in the band until 2005, when he was replaced by former [[U.K. Subs]] touring guitarist Paul Filthy.
