History
The New Trust was formed in Santa Rosa, California in 2003 by bassist Josh Staples of The Velvet Teen during the recording of that band's second album, Elysium (2004), which had originally been planned to be an EP but expanded into a full album including one track almost 13 minutes in length. Staples desired to write shorter songs, and formed The New Trust as a side project for that purpose. He added his wife Sara Sanger on guitar, though she barely knew how to play at the time, as well as guitarist Michael Richardson of Benton Falls and drummer Julia Lancer. The band played their first show that May, and by their second had self-released their debut EP ''We Are Fast-Moving Motherfuckers. We Are Women and Men of Action.'' (2003). They performed throughout California and embarked on a tour of the United States with The Jealous Sound. The EP was re-released by Slowdance Records in 2004.
