 Prescott had auditioned for the position of drummer with Disneyland, but took two of that band's members to form Volcano Suns; The other original members were Gary Waleik and Steve Michener who would leave after a few months, before the release of the first Suns album, to form Big Dipper.Prescott then added Jeff Weigand on bass guitar and Jon Williams on guitar.This second line-up created the band's debut album "The Bright Orange Years" (1985), as well as its follow-up, "All-Night Lotus Party" (1986), both released on the now-defunct Homestead Records.
