El grupo fue formado en 1996 por Adam Schlesinger y Chris Collingwood, antiguos compañeros de colegio. Previamente, los dos habían participado en otros grupos: Schlesinger había fundado Ivy en Nueva York y Collingwood The Mercy Buckets en Boston. El nombre del grupo se debe a una tienda de utensilios de jardinería de Wayne, Nueva Jersey, llamada Fountains of Wayne.
A ellos se unieron Brian Young, que había sido batería de The Posies, y Jody Porter, anteriormente en The Belltower. Desde entonces la formación no ha cambiado.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
Based on Russ Lewis's Chords, just added to a bit.I hope it's OK, this is my first at this... I Haven’t done this with strumming patterns, but it’s pretty easy to hear from the CD if I can do it) The way I figure it, (deep breath) G5 actualy alternates between G5 and A alternates between A5 and A and the Em alternates between Em and Em7. Hope this some sort of sense...
Feedback, suggestions, modifications etc are more than [email protected].
Cheers and Beers :)

Gather round the gas tower Don't it kinda look like a bong I heard it backwards Hidden in a Pink Floyd song Stella Radiata It's got to set your mind at ease Spinning on the tire swing Flying like Tarzan through the trees
