sentences:  Initially formed in 1993 as a duo with his then-girlfriend, Weezer guitarist Brian Bell reconstituted Space Twins as a band consisting of himself as lead singer, guitarist and main songwriter; Tim and Glenn Maloof, brothers and high school friends of Bell's who had moved from Knoxville to Los Angeles in 1997, respectively on bass and guitar; and Mike Elliot, whom Bell had befriended before joining Weezer, on drums.After releasing two 7" singles in 1997 and 1998, Bell devoted time to Space Twins and began working on their full-length debut due to Weezer's inactivity.Weezer's return from hiatus in 2000 led to non-stop activity for two years in which they released their third and fourth studio albums and had already recorded demos for a fifth, before finally taking a break in late 2002.
