Dealership was an American indie rock band based in Berkeley, California, thought to be disbanded.

History

Dealership was formed in 1995 at UC Berkeley by Chris Wetherell and his friend Chris Groves after the two had attended a Primus concert. After the concert, Wetherell went to a Guitar Center with a student loan check and said to an employee, "I would like the stuff to make a band". He bought microphones, microphone stands, a guitar amplifier, two electric guitars and a drum kit – without knowing how to play any of them. Their song "Database Corrupted" is a downloadable track in Rock Band 2. Since the announcement of The Future is Far Away, no official word has been heard from the band and it is thought to be disbanded.
