Regressive Aid was an instrumental band consisting of Simeon Cain (drums), William Tucker (guitar), and Andrew Weiss (bass guitar), managed by Tom Burka. Cain and Weiss later played in the bands Gone, a three pieced punk instrumental rock outfit and in the Rollins Band. During Regressive Aid's years together they frequently played at City Gardens, a punk rock club in Trenton, New Jersey.
The band later would become Scornflakes, ultimately the same lineup with the addition of a vocalist (Boy White) and a shift into a sound centered on punk, rather than the jazzy-rock dissonance common in songs by Regressive Aid.[1] Following their termination, all the members of the Regressive Aid would become long time collaborators in the band Ween.[2] Members would also be involved in the Rollins Band, Ministry and Pigface.
