Artist description Well, if you actually take the time to hear any of our songs, you might think that we're just a bunch of suburban kids screwing around. Well, you're right! At least that's what we were. But what the hell, music to some is noise to others. And our music is noise to most. But we sure had fun! Early this year (2000), a box was delivered to two Furburgers members in San Francisco by Michelle Nelson (former groupie). It was a shoe box taped shut with the words "Time Capsule: Do not open until 2000." Since it was that year, we opened it and found loads of cassette tapes. Among these tapes were some of the earliest recordings of our beloved band. Soon after, the hunt was on for the remaining archives. And the result is in your hands. All the material that you hear on this page were found in various boxes/attics/seat cushions by other Furburgers members. And the legend is brought back to life...

Music Style Offbeat, Lo-Fi, Spinal-Tap-ish garage stuff of dubious value. Masters of two-chord rock dissonance.

Musical Influences Anything and everything. We are a musical garbage disposal. Yumm!!

Artist History 1986-1988: Messed around in Warren's garage, early material never saw light of day. 1988-1991: Ivan joins, actually start writing halfway decent songs but our equipment still sucks. New Year's Eve 1990: Our first and last live performance at a New Year's Party. Performed for 30 people. 1992: Because of the scattering of band members across the country, Furburgers output diminishes. Band goes on indefinite hiatus in 1993. Shortly after most of the members graduated from Sunny Hills High School, the school was placed from that point forward on Newsweek's Top 100 list of public high schools in the United States. Coincidence?

Press Reviews "Wow. Talk about a blast from the past. Like Black Flag and the Circle Jerks, the Furburgers are an indelible part of rock 'n roll history. Who can forget the first time they heard such classics as "Hair Pie" and "Jimmy Lin is Dead"? I myself owe the loss of my virginity to a chilled bottle of Andre Cold Duck and "Smegma Guppies" spinning on my hi fi. May the spirit of the Furburgers rock on forever." - Bryan Byun, Byun-o-matic (www.byunomatic.com)
