The group was formed in Queens, NY in 2002 by former Black Army Jacket bassist, Carlos Ramirez,
when he met singer/guitarist Kayne Konecny after he auditioned for another band he was playing in.
The two musicians bonded on their mutual love for mid-90s bands like Sense Field, Farside and
Samiam. Konecny had been demoing some songs on his own and they started building on those
ideas at his apartment before they seeked out a drummer. Once they felt they had a few worthy
songs, they hooked up with NJ native Benj Gleeksman on drums. After a few months with another
2nd guitarist, the band, now calling themselves Lakota, recruited Patrick Lane. Lane had been a
bandmate of Konecny up in their hometown of Binghamton, NY. With the band now ready to start
gigging, local drummer Jimmy Herbst joined the ranks. The band then went into Magic Shop studios
in NYC to record a self financed EP with Taking Back Sunday and Brand New producer Juan Garcia.
Meanwhile down in Florida, former Further Seems Forever guitarist Nick Dominguez had just started
a label called Pop Up Records. He came across the Lakota MySpace page and fell in love with the
songs. Along with his partners Jason Knapfel and Derick Cordoba [currently still in Further Seems
Forever] signed the band. They re-released the 5 song EP and the band hit the road touring
throughout the US in 2004. One of the tours found them opening for Further Seems Forever. The
band also played the inaugural edition of Bamboozle in Ausbury Park, NJ.
In December of 2004 the band flew out to Tempe, AZ and recorded their debut album, Hope For The
Haunted, with producer Jamie Woolford. The producer was the brain behind the lamented Fueled By
Ramen band The Stereo. Ramirez was a huge fan and had emailed him the rough demos for the
songs that would eventually land on the album. Woolford became a fan and agreed to produce the
New York band. Recorded in a whirlwind 6 day session, the album was released in October of
2005. Alternative Press magazine tipped the band to be a breakout star for 2006. The band mounted
a full US tour throughout the beginning of the year but upon arriving back home, Ramirez announced
he was moving to Los Angeles. Lakota broke up shortly afterwards.
