===Formation (1993β1994)=== Garbage was founded in Madison, Wisconsin, by record producer and drummer Butch Vig and guitarists Steve Marker and Duke Erikson. Vig had gained international recognition for producing [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]]'s landmark album ''[[Nevermind]]'' (1991) as well as records by [[Smashing Pumpkins]] and [[Sonic Youth]]. The trio began writing and recording music at their Smart Studios facility and searched for a distinctive female vocalist to front the project. After seeing Shirley Manson performing with the Scottish band [[Angelfish]] in a music video on MTV, Vig contacted her, and she flew to Madison to audition. Manson was quickly recruited as the band's lead vocalist, completing the lineup.
