In late 2000, Matt Kesner, Brandon Arnold, and Jason Wright from the band Modular (noise/space rock from Fayetteville) joined up with Kevin Blagg to form Tycho. The band quickly gained recognition in town by playing constantly in town as well as St. Louis and Kansas City and opening for bands such as The Dismemberment Plan, Ted Leo, Mates Of State and Enon. A year later they changed the spelling of their name after discovering there was another Tycho out there.
