What is "aminiature"

aMiniature is a band that was formed in the 1980s in San Diego by first generation Korean-American John Lee. By 1990 Lee had established the name aMiniature.The band's name was inspired by a poster hanging in the office of Lee's father that showed miniature bulbs. In addition, The "A" in the title is not pronounced, but was added to distinguish the group's name from a jazz ensemble with the same name.

Over its lifetime the band went through many lineup changes, with Lee and Colin Watson remaining as consistent members. The group disbanded in 1997.
