The garage comes with a house, which quickly comes to resemble Delta House in Animal House, minus the girls, togas and actual space to live in. The landlord is told the band is actually UCLA students studying classical music. Though the landlord lives next door, the band somehow manages to avoid eviction despite full volume rehearsals past midnight with the space soundproofed with trashed rolls of old carpet. Meanwhile, drummer Pat begins suffering from Struggling Artist Syndrome while living in an unheated garage. [see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story

In late 2004 indie juggernaut TVT Records stepped in and took over the situation with a new deal for TSAR.[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
