Letters from Chutney and Tip (1995–1999)
Finger Eleven first formed in their high school, but then achieved a devoted Canadian following throughout their time as a band. Formed in high school one of their first shows was at a school Christmas concert in 1990. They were originally called Rainbow Butt Monkeys. They released their first full album Letters from Chutney (1995) with money won from a rock band search contest on 97.7 CHTZ (Hits) HTZ FM's "Southern Ontario's Best Rock".
The group found a new management team in Coalition Entertainment (Rob Lanni & Eric Lawrence with Sarah Parham) in 1996. Once they had realized their music changed and wanted to be taken more seriously, "Rainbow Butt Monkeys" became "Finger Eleven". The name Finger Eleven comes from an earlier version of the song "Thin Spirits" from the album Tip. Scott Anderson explains: "when everything is pushing you in one direction and your instinct drives you in another that's finger eleven, I couldn't get it out of my head." (Wikipedia)

There's a great power in words, if you don't hitch too many of them together.
