The Sesquipedelians
Jonathan Hess thought of the name Sesquipedelians which means people who use words that are difficult to pronounce.

The first incarnation of the band included Cathy Livingston and Kaushik Swaminathan as the primary vocalists, guitarists and songwriters, Kaushik Swaminathan Cat and Kaushik backed one another up on vocals and guitar. Jonathan Hess joined the band as a bassist, and Vivek played the drums. This band formed for the sole purpose of backing Cathy and Kaushik at Kresge Day in 1987, which was an annual all-day party at the University of California, Santa Cruz, of which all of the band members were students.
