The band was formed by bassist Brent Rademaker and guitarist Christopher Gunst who met in the 1990s when both were members of Los Angelesindie-rock group Further. Guitarist Dave Scher and drummer Jimi Hey (who played with Gunst in Strictly Ballroom) were recruited before the band's first show in June 1997.
Hey suggested the band's name by combining Sparks Street, where Brent Rademaker lived in Burbank, with Beachwood Street, which runs parallel and adjacent to Sparks. Hey left after a few shows and was replaced by Tom Sanford. At around the same time, the group was also joined by Pete "Sleigher" Kinne on percussion and another former Further member, guitarist Josh Schwartz.
They released the "Desert Skies"/"Make It Together" single on Bomp! in October 1998. Sanford left and was replaced by Aaron Sperske, drummer with Lilys, whose first recording with the band was on the Sub Pop singles club release "Midsummer Daydream"/"Windows 65" issued in April 1999. Kinne and Schwartz left shortly after.

Beachwood Sparks - Midsummer Daydream 7" sub pop
Great early 45 on Sub Pop. More like early Rain Parade/Teenage Fanclub than the band's subsequent mellow vibe....

In the silver morning after The golden shattered night The echoes of the laughter still remain Desert sparkle fades away Remember me this way All those pretty little horses We never got to ride Are casting lonesome shadows on the ground Remember me this way And I'll remember you And I'll remember you And I'll remember you This way
