Skirt Alert was founded by bassist Jason Littlefield and guitarist Sean Martin in 2002. Drummer Zach Albetta and trumpeter Adam Gaines were added to the mix while all four musicians attended Ball State University in central Indiana. While Albetta and Gaines have relocated to Kansas City and Philadelphia (respectively) to further their music educations, Martin and Littlefield have relocated to Southern California and continue performing under the Skirt Alert name. These recordings were made in very short time; no tune received more than two takes in the studio and all instruments performed together for a "live" feel. No overdubs!
