Artist History The HUGAPUSS saga begins in a small village in Estonia, where four young orphans lived by their wits in the shadows of the region's famed Mother-Of-Pearl quarries. Their real names are not only unimportant, but also impossible to write or pronounce due to things like umlauts, weird letters and odd symbols dating back to the time of the Druids.Into the lives of our four young Estonian orphans came salvation in the guise of escaped Peace Corp volunteer Claude Dingus, left for dead by mountain bandits who had stolen his supply of pinkeye serum and ringworm vaccine.Discovered by the four quarry urchins, a thankful Dingus shared with them the only earthly possessions he had left: a copy of the first Sonics album, the May 1,'69' issue of Playboy, a Three Stooges videotape and a Frisbee. And while our four heroes valiantly attempted to nurse Dingus back to health, they were far more enthralled by these mysterious totems of an exotic land. With earnings gathered from selling Dingus' corneas, kidneys and pancreas to local organ harvesters, our four stalwart dreamers planned their emigration to America. As for Dingus, he died a noble yet painful death shortly thereafter. Arriving by tramp steamer in the port of Los Angeles in early 1998, the four Estonian rapscallions immediately adopted the innocuous American monikers Paul Jackson, David King, Dave Ladish,and Micheal Murphy. They quickly found odd jobs amongst the film industry throughout Hollywood joined the local ultimate Frisbee League and learned everything there was to know about this strange yet wonderful new land. Then, one fateful night in the midst of their weekly binge on Three Stooges clips Crazy Horse records and cheap beer, they shared a communal epiphany: They must form a band. But not just any band. This band must celebrate the very tenets of who they are and what they dreamed,while keeping alive the spirit of salvation Claude Dingus brought to their lives. Thus, Dingus Records was created. And with a passionate penchant for big mufffuzz pedals, slapstick lyrics, crisp melodies and hourglass figures, Hugapuss was born. Impaling your ears with a reverberating guitar onslaught thrusting their unique brand of primitive garage rock wrapped in crunchy pop melodies into your skull. Vocals, still delivered with a slight Estonian accent, are nonetheless beautiful, haunting, and convicted. In early 1999, their historic debut album, BRAVE NEW GIRL, was recorded and released. The once plaintive cry from the quarries is now a fuzztone heard'round the world.
