Juno is an American indie rock band formed in Seattle in 1995. Juno released their debut album This Is the Way It Goes & Goes & Goes on DeSoto Records March 30 1999. Their second album A Future Lived in Past Tense was released May 8 2001. The band was critically acclaimed by various local and national music journals and has toured throughout the US, Europe and Japan. The band also released a split e.p with The Dismemberment Plan which included a cover of DJ Shadow's "High Noon". The band is now officially defunct. They had played with and auditioned a few different bassists (including Nick Harmer of Death Cab for Cutie), but ultimately decided that they were going in different directions artistically. According to a post made to the Juno web site by lead singer Arlie Carstens the break up was amicable. Currently some of the former members are working on Ghost Wars, a recording project led by Carstens and Eric Fisher. Three pieces of their music can be found on MySpace. (more about Ghost Wars in Carstens' interview http://www.thestranger.com/lineout/2006/07/ghost_wars.php) Juno reunited to play two shows in Seattle on 9 and 10 December 2006 for KEXP's annual Yule Benefit.
