History High Adventure was originally envisioned on May 23, 1984 by childhood friends Glen Nelson and Todd Howard. At the time, they were inspired by Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and got the name from a headline in the Hartford Courant about the film. They performed popular songs at the time that they enjoyed, and also wrote original music. The duo played for several years, and expanded to a quartet with other neighborhood friends. However, after Howard moved to a different town, the band was put on hiatus.
