In 1995, they released a demo at Sound Farm Studios titled Caca Bonita. Drummer Dave Buckner was temporarily replaced by Ryan Brown, as Buckner was spending the year in Seattle studying art. In 1994, Papa Roach released their first EP titled Potatoes for Christmas. The band chose the name Papa Roach from the nickname of Shaddix's step-grandfather, Howard William Roatch. Their first tour van was called Moby Dick, where Shaddix was inspired to come up with his first stage name "Coby Dick". At this point, Papa Roach was practicing every day and touring, playing every gig they could get. They ultimately ended up losing the talent show. They decided to enter the school's talent show, performing a version of Jimi Hendrix's song " Fire". They were later joined by lead guitarist Jerry Horton from nearby Vanden High School, trombonist Ben Luther and bassist Will James. Papa Roach's formation began in January 1993, when lead singer Jacoby Shaddix and drummer Dave Buckner met on the Vacaville High School football field.
