History

Jonathan Meiburg began Whu Gnu out of two previous musical ensembles: Mysterious Union and the Lawrence Dale Bell High School Jazz Band. The original lineup of the band was Ken Evers-Hood, Joe Reeves, Bo Griffin, Mike Dow, and Jack Worthy. By the year 2000, the band had replaced Evers-Hood and Reeves with Lee Shields and Tony Rogers. Whu Gnu played numerous gigs in and around Texas with artists such as the Reverend Horton Heat, Okkervil River, and Party of Fives' Scott Wolf.

The band's first album Naked and Without Teeth, sold roughly 1000 copies. In 2003, Whu Gnu invited Meiburg to pursue his other musical outlets, Okkervil River and Shearwater, full-time. Dow, Griffin, Shields, and Worthy remained active in the Austin, Texas music scene.
