Headboard was formed in December of 1995 in Petaluma, CA. The group originated as a rap duo, consisting of Glenn Rubenstein and Jeff Gerstmann. Rubenstein assumed the rap name "G-man," derived from his early 1990s BBS handle. Gerstmann went by the moniker "US Pipe," after a sign he had passed weekly on the 880 freeway when he worked temporarily transporting reels of film for a Bay Area cinema chain. The two were joined on-stage by Brendan Ducousso, who went by "Gotti," and served as an anti "hype man" who commented on what the duo rapped about.

Headboard's first show was December 19th, 1995 opening a concert at the Phoenix Theatre in Petaluma on a bill consisting of Maroon, 26 Miles Per Hour, and the headliner, Skillit. Headboard formed only two weeks before the date of the show, settling on the name only days before the concert and writing rap lyrics right up until showtime. The duo read many of their lyrics off paper while rapping over a montage of samples crafted into an eclectic mix of beats. Thrown together in the days leading up to the event, the group was selling cassette tapes of their "Zip! Plop! EP" at this first performance, tracked on a 4-track the night before.

In July of 1996 the group added a live band and began touring around California with an expanded mix of music stylings. Female vocals were added to the group to compliment Gerstmann and Rubenstein's rapping, and the musical styles mixed elements of rap, ska, funk, pop, alternative rock, and punk. At one point the band expanded to a total of 11 people--including Christine Alexander of Little Tin Frog, and Dominic Davi, who would later go on to form Tsunami Bomb, both of whom played on Headboard (band)'s first self-released CD, "Brendan Goes to College." 1996 is a leap year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year for the Eradication of Poverty. ...

Gerstmann and Ducousso left the group in the summer of 1997, shortly after the group attracted the attention of A&M Records. Headboard recorded demos for A&M in the fall of 1997, produced by Trever Keith of the punk band Face to Face and engineered by Steve Krevac. In early 1998, the band lost most traces of ska and funk influence and other line-up changes ensued as the band slimmed down to six members and recorded their second self-released CD. "The End Is Near." Around this time, the group entered talks with Geffen Records, right before the Seagrams-Polygram merger folded both A&M Records and Geffen Records into Interscope Records.

In mid-2000, Rubenstein began production on Headboard's third CD, "Nothing is Static." It became clear another line-up change was on the horizon, and production began without a solid band line-up in place. Around this time, Headboard's track "Tell Me How" off "The End Is Near" was featured by Garageband.com and the website entered negotiations to sign Headboard to its start-up internet-based label.

After the dot-com crash, Garageband.com scaled back their efforts and it is unclear the specifics of Headboard's dealings with the label. "Nothing is Static" was released in late 2000 on MDFL Records (owned by Rubenstein), and shortly thereafter, Glenn Rubenstein decided to take a break from Headboard.
