Indecision made their official nightclub debut in 1984 at
the Mineshaft Cellar in Charlottesville, Virginia. However, they began performing
together in 1980 while attending high school, and in 1983 they began rehearsing regularly as "Indecision." Aaron Evans (guitar and vocals),
David Ibbeken (guitar and vocals), Craig Dougald (drums and vocals), Shawn McCrystal (bass)Dan McCrystal (sound engineer), initially formed
Indecision in Charlottesville, VA.
Doug Wanamaker (keyboards and vocals) performed with Indecision for about a year prior to officially joining in 1989. Chris White (acoustic guitar and vocals) also began sitting in with Indecision as early as 1987, and officially joined the band at the beginning of 1990 to complete Indecision's unique sound.
For the first several years, Indecision played primarily in Virginia, the
Carolinas and the DC area, during which the band members attended college. By late 1989, Indecision was touring nationally and appeared with many excellent
groups and musicians whom we would like to thank for the opportunity of sharing
the stage: The Neville Brothers, Phish, Widespread Panic, Blues Traveler, Dave
Matthews Band, Jorma Kaukonen, Paul Barrere, Danny Gatton, Zero, Hootie and the
Blowfish, The White Animals, Waxing Poetics, New Potato Caboose, Blue Dixie, Purple Schoolbus, Max Creek, The
Connells, The Wailers, The Grapes, The Smithereens, All Good, Go Ahead, Living
Earth, Blue Dogs, Freddie Jones Band, The Spinners, Marshal
Crenshaw, The Feelies, David Alan Coe, Drivin' & Crying, Jupiter Coyote.
Indecision has released several recordings since the beginning. The first,
titled Indecision, was released on vinyl in 1986. The second, titled Ponder Yonder (CD), was released
in 1991 and the third, titled Reservoir (CD), was released in 1993. In 1996,
Indecision authorized the release of a live show at the Chameleon Club (CD) in
Atlanta Georgia. In October 2002, Indecision announced their first official release in almost a decade. This CD contains various live tracks from several venues in the Southeast. Presently, Indecision is selecting the tracks, but the release date will be announced in the near future… stay tuned for details.
Taping is generally authorized, see Danny McCrystal.
Indecision mutually decided to stop full-time touring in 1993 shortly after the
release of Reservoir. Since that time, the band has played an average of five
shows per year in the southeast and will continue to do so indefinitely.

support and occasional insanity. Special thanks goes to: Chris Stubbs, Pete
