Paper Bag: was formed in 1983 by Greg Segal and M. Segal. The idea was to take improvisational music into new territory and develop a method to expand it as an art form. In 7/85 the line-up solidified: Greg Segal, guitar; M. Segal, drums, percussion and vocals; Kenny Ryman, keyboards, tape loops, vocals and percussion; and George Radai, bass. It is this version of the band that is best known, and which, in the late 1980s, recorded 4 releases for SST records and 26 radio sets of completely original music that received international airplay. Paper Bag eventually lost Kenny Ryman and gained David McIntire on vocals. This lineup remained stable until the band's semi-retirement in 1991. There have been several reappearances since then. A new band, Bag: Theory, featuring M. Segal, formed in 1999, has released CDs and is currently gigging around the L.A. area. Bag: Theory strictly follows the Paper Bag: method of improvisation.
