The Replacements were formed in 1979 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The original line up of the band consisted of Paul Westerberg on Vocals and guitar, Bob Stinson on guitar, Tommy Stinson on Bass, and Chris Mars on Drums.
The history of the band began in 1978 when Bob Stinson (At this time was nineteen years old) gave his eleven year old broth Tommy a bass. Bob said that at the time he did this to keep his brother off the streets. In this same year Bob met Chris Mars who was a recent high school dropout. Mars was originally thier guitar player before he switched to the drums. Chris, Bob, and Tommy got together and started covering songs together as a trio, with no vocalist. The band named themselves Dogbreath. Around this time Paul Westerberg had a job as a janitor at the Senator’s office and would often hear the band practicing as he would walk pass the Stinson household on his way home from work.
