Artist description A loose joining of unlikely members from different countries, backgrounds & levels of sanity (or lack thereof). If it weren't for that tour bus having 4 flat tires at once, this couldn't have happened!

Music Style Folk music from hell, comedy, some rock.

Musical Influences Spinal Tap, Weird Al Yankovic, Jello Biafra, Richard Pryor, Negativland, Frank Zappa, Firesign Theatre, Monty Python, Cheech & Chong, Kids in the Hall, etc.

Similar Artists Probably don't really sound like anyone else (!), in spite of all the different influences.

Artist History Started in early 1997 when the tour bus carrying Steven Andre Dore (Steve A. Dore to be brief) & Schnoodles Langtail broke down in Georgia, Atlanta. It is here that Steve & Schnoodles met Igleson Snortworth III, folk artist from, well, Hell. The examination of the bus showed that it had, in addition to 4 flat tires- a cracked engine block, broken axle, & a hole in the radiator. Some people have all the luck! Steve, Schnoodles & Igleson formed the band & played some clubs, but soon got chased out of town to the west coast, "settling" in California. Along the way, there were other band members who didn't last or stay in the line-up, but it's worth mentioning that none of them inhaled someone else's vomit or suffered spontaneous combustion. These seem to be commonly dreaded fates of "extra" band members. Early this year Igleson had a bad finger injury, so Steve & Schnoodles had to tour Europe without Igleson. Schnoodles' unusual adaptation of Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" from his 9th symphony got them run out of Germany by angry mobs. Days later, they performed in Norway. Schnoodles played her version of Grieg's "Hall of the Mountain King", giving it lyrics & calling it "Hall of the Mountain Nose". The people of Oslo revolted & packaged Steve & Schnoodles in boxes & shipped them back to the U.S.A. via United Parcel Service. Steve now refuses to play any "cover tunes" live because of a threat that they would be e-mailed back to the States next time instead of being sent in a box. Trying to make a living is sure tough these days... Special thanks to Felix Hess ( a Dutch mathematician, physicist, sound recording engineer, & soundscape artist) for his permission to include his recording of Bufo Marninus, the giant toad, as a background effect on the track "I Found Religion, S.N.O.T. Wipes!"- it made the track toadally trippy.

Group Members Igleson Snortworth III- (vocals, guitar, bass & lyrics). Steve A. Dore- (guitars, bass, percussion, re-percussion, keyboards, recording, mixing, mastering, yapsterizing, yada,yada. Doesn't drive or fix flats). Schnoodles Langtail (the Noozhler)- slide guitar, vocals, sound effects, percussion. Don Campau- friendly D.J. who got tricked into giving this band airplay & becoming a project member! Sable Sabbath- a cat who became the manager of the band (no human would do the job- I mean it!). Sable likes simple pleasures, like shrimp & sushi. Since "Sable" is another word for "black", now we could say we are managed by "Black Sabbath"(!). Really cool cat, too. PAST BAND MEMBERS: Snorfleen Wigglebottom- vocalist in early line-up of band, missing in action, went freakin' nuts. Now we'll never do any Edith Bunker covers without her! Snoodler MacGerbil- our only accordion player, died while giving birth (we warned him!), but at least he won't have to go to prison for playing accordion (y'know, that "3 strikes" stuff...). Adolf Moosoline-Knee- A vocalist who took money for singing songs but never did. He was last seen in public getting arrested for holding up a dumpster! Juan Valdez -Percussion Juan Valdez (not to be confused with *Exxon Valdez* because he won't ruin anyone's beach!)- A really nice, low-key kind of guy in Mexico who saved us from angry patrons in a bar by saying nice things about us. Seems the re-do of "Cielito Lindo" as "Fageeta On A Flower Tortila" went over like taking a shot of tequila down the wrong pipe with some folks! We offered him a position in the group as percussionist, but he politely declined. So he will be an honorary Nosehair, at least. Oh, yeah, he saved us from the Federales, too (badges? We don't need no steenking badges!).

Instruments Guitars, bass, keyboard, electronic drums, voice, electronic effects, nostrils, various things.

Press Reviews Banned from Walmart before C.D. is even released! Soon to be on Tipper Gore's _hitlist! Keep watching "Weekly World News" for headlines. Dick's Last Resort (a restaurant chain based in Dallas, Tx.) won't play the C.D. on their sound systems because Muzak is much safer!

Additional Info Snorfles McKenzie & Donovan O'Snorfley, renegade noses with a pretty nasal attitude (that snot funny!).
