The band Missing Man Formation was led by keyboardist, vocalist, and songwriter Vince Welnick, who had been a member of the Grateful Dead, and before that, the Tubes, and Todd Rundgren's band. At the time that they recorded their eponymous CD, Missing Man Formation also included Steve Kimock on guitar, Bobby Vega on bass, and Prairie Prince on drums.[3]
The album was recorded at Studio E in Sebastopol, California, with the exception of the last track. This song, "Smog Farm", was recorded at the band's first live performance, on July 4, 1996.[3][4] The words to a few of the songs were written by Grateful Dead lyricists Robert Hunter or John Perry Barlow, including one tune, "Samba in the Rain", that had been part of the Dead's repertoire in the early '90s.[1]
