A group that formed from the remnants of a basement band called The Eternal Virgins, The Random Tangents, from Greenwood, Indiana, played a handful of shows at the Smith Valley Community Center, hosted house concerts, and headlined at Logos (a now defunct youth rock club) in Franklin, Indiana. They won a Battle of the Bands competition at Mt. Pleasant Christian Church in September 2004. They recorded an eight track album in one of their parents' basements between June 2003 and March 2004 called 6/8 & Others. With their six original songs, Johnny Cash and Bright eyes are both covered.
