Wikipedia -After being introduced to Bad Brains as a teen, O'Rourke became a fan of punk music. O'Rourke, along with two friends from El Paso, Mike Stevens and Arlo Klahr, learned to play musical instruments, with O'Rourke taking up the bass. In 1991, while at Columbia University, the trio recruited drummer Cedric Bixler-Zavala (eventual vocalist for At the Drive-In and The Mars Volta), and together they formed the band Foss.
Bixler-Zavala recalled O'Rourke and Klahr introducing him to a zine called Book Your Own Fucking Life, a primer on how to schedule your own gigs without an agent. During the summer, they toured the United States and Canada,3garnering the support of Feist.The group released a self-titled demo and a 7" record, "The El Paso Pussycats", on Western Breed Records in 1993.
O'Rourke also played drums in the band Swedes, who released an album called Summer in 1995. Fellow bandmates included Jake Barowsky, Arlo Klahr, Julie Napolin, and Mike Stevens.
