History
Amanda Brown founded Not Not Fun Records in 2005;[2] she and friend Bethany Cosentino formed the duo Pocahaunted the following year after Brown had a dream about it.[2] The group released nine albums, including collaborations with Robedoor, Cosentino's future Best Coast bandmate Bobb Bruno and Cameron Stallones aka Sun Araw. They also released numerous singles, EP's and cassette releases on Not Not Fun as well as on other labels including Troubleman Unlimited Records, Ecstatic Peace! and the Swedish imprint Release The Bats, generally preferring the vinyl and cassette formats over compact disc and often featuring handmade/hand-painted artwork.[3] Cosentino left the group in 2010 to attend college in New York City, founding the duo Best Coast with Bobb Bruno while there.[2] This necessitated a lineup overhaul, including the addition of Brown's husband Britt on guitar,[2] as well as Diva Dompe (Blackblack), Leyna Noel Tilbor (Psychic Reality), and M. Geddes Gengras.[4] The group disbanded in August 2010.[4]
