Along the way, Box Set has issued two self-distributed cassettes (still available) and last year their first CD appeared on the Box Set label. The duo expanded into a quartet along the way with the addition of Mark Abbott, drums, and Chad Heise, bass, and in 1994 became a quintet when Hammond organist Sam Johnston joined up.

The Seshen is one of the brightest hidden gems the Bay has to offer. Coming from the San Francisco area, The Seshen is fronted by the mystifying Lalin St. Juste, whose vocals are often heftily compared to the likes of one Erykah Badu.
