**Pivit** is an American [punk rock](/source/Punk_rock) band hailing from [Poway](/source/Poway,_California) and [Cardiff](/source/Cardiff,_California), California, formed in late 1994 by original drummer Mark McLemore, lead singer Chris Moore, and guitarist Eric Sisson in [San Diego County, California](/source/San_Diego_County,_California). In 1995, they recorded their first demo entitled *Find the Fuzz*. Eventually they produced 3 albums together, *Pressure* in 1996, *Millennium* in 1998 and finally *Thanks for Coming Back* in 2002.

The band enjoyed moderate success, earning heavy praise from critics and fans[1][2][3] and opening for such bands as [Blink-182](/source/Blink-182), [Incubus](/source/Incubus_(band)), [MxPx](/source/MxPx), [Buck-O-Nine](/source/Buck-O-Nine), Sack Lunch, [Pennywise](/source/Pennywise_(band)), [Unwritten Law](/source/Unwritten_Law), [Mad Caddies](/source/Mad_Caddies), [Ten Foot Pole](/source/Ten_Foot_Pole), [Home Grown](/source/Home_Grown_(band)) and many local San Diego bands.[4] In June 1998, a video was shot for Pivit's song "Oddessy" in [Rancho Bernardo](/source/Rancho_Bernardo) and downtown [San Diego](/source/San_Diego), directed by Taylor Steele.[5][6] A music video was made in 2002 for the song "Fingercuffs",[7] and a video was also made for "Millennium", but only played at live shows.[8]

Since disbanding in 2003, there have been a few reunion shows with [Agent 51](/source/Agent_51), [Sack Lunch](/source/Sack_Lunch), and [Spero Lumina](/source/Spero_Lumina) throughout 2008 and 2009.[9] and 2015
