==History== ===1986β1989: Formation, early years and line-up changes === In 1986, [[Eric Stefani]] and John Spence met at a [[Dairy Queen]] and talked about getting a group together to play music. Stefani acquired a keyboard and gathered some players together to practice; these included himself (keyboards), his sister [[Gwen Stefani]] (backing vocals), John Spence (lead vocals), Jerry McMahon (guitar), Chris Leal (bass), Chris Webb (drums), Gabriel Gonzalez (trumpet), [[Starpool|Alan Meade]] (trumpet), and Tony Meade (saxophone). They practiced in Eric's parents' garage.<ref name="orangeCoast" /> [[Tony Kanal]] went to one of the band's early shows, and soon joined the band as its bassist.
