Torben Floor's Carey Ott is now an acclaimed solo artist. Visit his website www.careyott.com for current information. Chris Ott and Doug Sale are now in The Quicksand Brothers. Below is the Torben Floor bio from 1999.

Torben Floor is a young band that originally hails from rural Ottawa, Illinois, with their musical influences of John Lennon, Jeff Buckley and Radiohead readily apparent. "Live Music In The Apartment" (WM-9902) marks its compact disc debut and should serve as an introduction to the voice and songwriting of Carey Ott, who formed the band with bassist/brother Chris Ott and drummer Doug Sale a few years ago. Guitarist and vocalist John Moony joined the group upon their relocation to Chicago, where all the members now reside.

Torben Floor developed its sound through live performance and recording sessions with Steve Albini, Jimmy Johnson (Cheap Trick) and Mark Hubel (Hum). While "Apartment" was indeed largely recorded in the boys' former apartment, two tracks created at Mark Rubel's Pogo Studios (Champaign) conclude the disc. Post-production and mastering were handled by Chris Greene of Alien Soundscapes (Chicago). An alternate version of the final track, "Disillusion," and "Sunk Inside..." were included on a promotional ASCAP compilation at the end of 1998. The quartet has played at important festivals and conferences including Milwaukee's Summerfest, CMJ, St. Louis' MRMF, Mobfest (Chicago) and most recently a private showcase in Austin during SXSW.
