Former Bandmates Reunite


It was an emotion-laden reunion in Vegas between ex-bandmates, vocalist Krista Pflanzer and keyboardist Toffey Ray of the former Hollywood band informally known as Krystal Sensation, or simply The Krista Pflanzer Band. Uncertain what to name their group at that time, bassist Bud Nicholson, also of the AntjaMimes, suggested the name Wool to bandmates Peter Stahl, lead guitarist Franz Stahl, and drummer Pete Moffett. It was of course a tongue-in-cheek suggestion.
Upon disbandment, the name Wool became sentimental to the Stahl brothers who subsequently formed their own band called Wool, signed to London Records. That Wool produced two albums, the first dubbed Budspawn in acknowledgement of Bud Nicholson's wit, and the second album being a Box Set. The Stahl brothers of course were the former bandmates of David Grohl in the Washington D.C. punk rock band Scream. David Grohl joined Kurt Cobain to form Nirvana, and the rest is history. The memorable reunion in Vegas was joined by LV man-about-town himself TobyWoby.
