Envy was formed in the basement of Dobson Hall on the UW-Platteville campus.  Guitarists Jaek Pachniak and Dan Faherty started a band and quickly added bassist Chris Wolf and drummer Dan Moris to the mix.  From there the search began for a singer.  "Singer Wanted" ads were placed around the campus and the auditions began.  Enter Amanda Tvedt.  Her beautiful voice and attitude made the choice easy for the new band.  With the line-up now set, the band now begins to bring a new sound to the Platteville scene currently saturated with Nickelback and Creed-cover bands. 

The Band played it's first gig at the McGregor Hall Open Mic playing three cover songs: Santeria, Under the Bridge, and Criminal.  After further experience from playing at house parties and the Dobson Hall Service Auction, they took their music to the stage at the 2002 UWP Battle of the Bands in which they took second.  Not bad for a band that had been together for only little over a month and a half.
