Originally named for the Beatles' song "Savoy Truffle," the outfit Truffle formed in 1986 while attending the University of New Hampshire in Durham. Molding neo-hippie flair with American trad rock, their popular three-hour shows quickly gained Savoy Truffle a reputation for being the supreme college band of the northern East Coast, not to mention one of most sought out college bands during this time.
Comprised of frontman/guitarist Dave Gerard, multi-instrumentalist Ned Chase, bassist David Bailey, and drummer Brian Dionne, the band was still going under the moniker Savoy Truffle as of 1991. That same year, they were signed to indie label Apogee Records and released Talking With Ghosts.
