Lead singer, John Wozniak formed this band back in the early 1990s. For a short while they were stationed out in Olympia, Washington sharing warehouse space with bands such as Nirvana , Blue Moon and Company (lead singer, Jason Frost and John Wozniak shared a college dorm). Marcy Playground's song hit Sex and Candy was #1 chart topper in the mid 1990s. Most recently their music can be heard on the soundtrack of Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back.
The band takes its name from the playground in Marcy Park, just northwest of the University of Minnesota, in the Marcy-Holmes neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
