When The Obsessed folded in 1995 Scott "Wino" Weinrich moved from California to his native Maryland to create the band Shine. After a demo entitled "Powershine" and a 7" single release during 1997 Shine became Spirit Caravan as he was joined by bass player Dave Sherman and drummer Gary Isom. A 7" single shared with Sixty Watt Shaman was their first release together and several releases now followed. A lot of praise was given from the doom / stoner community but after a North American tour with Place Of Skulls in April 2002 Wino disbanded Spirit Caravan in May only to be found as a member of Place Of Skulls in July.
