Transition
The band relocated to Los Angeles in 1996 and recruited Hamilton as a drummer. Seefried and Hamilton would go on to pen the song "Sleeping Pill" to be featured on a CD sampler released by the trade magazine Album Network. The song was credited to a band known as The Amazing Adventures of Joe 90 — a pseudonym for the duo. The name was a send-up to the 1968 animated television series entitled Joe 90. However, their audience was not in on the joke, and repeatedly inquired about Joe 90. They eventually took on the name to avoid any further elaboration. The name Joe90 was suggested by band manager Steve Barrett. He had been an integral part of the Gods Child creative process, suggesting song titles, lyrics, ideas and direction.

Famous quotes containing the word transition:
“Some of the taverns on this road, which were particularly dirty, were plainly in a transition state from the camp to the house.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A transition from an author’s books to his conversation, is too often like an entrance into a large city, after a distant prospect. Remotely, we see nothing but spires of temples, and turrets of palaces, and imagine it the residence of splendor, grandeur, and magnificence; but, when we have passed the gates, we find it perplexed with narrow passages, disgraced with despicable cottages, embarrassed with obstructions, and clouded with smoke.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“Power ceases in the instant of repose; it resides in the moment of transition from a past to a new state, in the shooting of the gulf, in the darting to an aim.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
