Pia Fraus started in 1998 in Tallinn, Estonia when six art school students (Rein Fuks, Reijo Tagapere, Tõnis Kenkmaa, Joosep Volk, Kristel Loide and Kärt Ojavee) came together. First gig was in spring 1999. After some concerts they started recording their first album (Wonder What It's Like) which was released in spring 2001 by themselves. Then they sent some demos to different labels and next full length album (In Solarium) was released under Clairecords (USA) in summer 2002. Kristel left the band and Eve Komp replaced her. In autumn 2003 Clairecords released Plastilina EP which included tracks from Wonder What It's Like. Before that Margus Voolpriit replaced Joosep.
