Early days (199X-2000)
The band toured throughout the United States, including Detroit, Toledo, and Iowa City during the mid-1990s. The band was named after "a man who always seemed to be the life of the party at a Newark, N.J., watering hole".[2]
Signing to Warner Bros. and self-titled debut (2001-2004)
The band became signed to Warner Bros. Records under "rather unique circumstances"; after providing a demo tape to a rock radio station, the song "Burn" become remarkably popular, resulting in attention and later signing to the label.[2] Pete's self-titled album, produced by Ross Hogarth and Jason Slater,[citation needed] was released on July 31, 2001.[3]
