Billy "Boredom" Karren was one of the rotating musicians who played with The Go Team, and it was in this band that he and Vail played together for the first time, later collaborating in several other bands like Bikini Kill, The Frumpies, the upallnighters, and Spray Painted Love. The group released several cassettes and 9 singles on the independent label K Records, mostly on the 7" vinyl format - a practice Vail continues to this day. One of her first bands was The Go Team, an experimental punk project started with Calvin Johnson in 1985. She currently plays in both Romancing and Leti Angel, as well as being the vice president and head of West Coast operations for the independent label Kill Rock Stars as of the current president Portia Sabin's move to New York City in 2006 with her husband, label-founder Slim Moon. Her younger sister Maggie Vail also plays drums, guitar, bass, clarinet and cello, ] and has played in such bands as Bangs, Gene Defcon, The Geoducks, The Slatternlies, The Stowaways, Frenchie and the German Girls, and Bonnot Gang (named after the famous French anarchist group of the same name). ] Growing up in a very musical family, she started playing music early. Vail was born on the day of the first moon landing and named after Toby Tyler, who ran away to join the circus. Currently she fronts the psychedelic- garage- punk band Spider and the Webs, plays drums in The Old Haunts, as well as running her own indie cassette label, Bands Against Bush, the Kill Rock Stars mail order department, and publishing various zines. She formed one of her first bands as the drummer for The Go Team when she was 15, later collaborating in several other groups like Bikini Kill, as well as being involved over the years with a prolific assortment of project bands, figuring prominently in the Olympia music scene.
