Run Run Run is the brainchild of lead singer/guitarist Smith, formerly of Otherstarpeople. The band was formed after some rousing recording sessions with the late Fred Drake (Earthlings! Mark Lanagan, QOTSA, Victoria Williams) at Rancho de la Luna.

In the Fall of 2005, Run Run Run’s unique indie rock sound and hypnotic lo-fi light show, two EPs and support slots for the Strokes, Psychedelic Furs and My Chemical Romance caught the attention of Billboard Magazine. Billboard organized a showcase for the band. This performance and a residency at Silverlake’s renowned Club Spaceland landed Run Run Run a record deal for “Endless Winter.”
