Morphine came together in 1989 with bassist and vocalist Mark Sandman, from Treat Her Right, saxophonist Dana Colley, a formerly of Three Colors, and drummer Jerome Deupree, who played with Mark in The Hypnosonics. Mark was constantly creating, often experimenting with home-made instruments, and fashioned a single-stringed bass guitar with a slide, later adding a second string. A signature move that would inspire a generation of artists Josh Homme of Kyuss and Queens of the Stoneage, Les Claypool of Primus (who recorded a version of Honey White), and Mike Watt of Minutemen, firehose, and the Stooges.  When Jerome Deupree briefly left the group in 1991 and  Treat Her Right drummer Billy Conway stepped in. Billy and Jerome have often been a part of subsequent Morphine-related performances.
