Artist History Began in the 1960's as a Band called "The Acid Indigestion." It evolved in the 70'sto "The Schwump Band" based in Portland, OR. Barry Schwam, founder of both groups, began doing recordings of his own, including the unreleased underground classic, "Aphids In The Hall," performed with "The Residents," of San Fransisco. Barry Schwam recently resurfaced as "Schwump" once again, and with a new CD, "Kick In The Butt," heard most recently on "Dr. Demento." You can read more about me by clicking on the Artist's Website link below, which will take you to an interview I did with a friend of The Residents.

Group Members Mostly Barry Schwam. Other artists vary.

Instruments Electrified Autoharp, harmonica, kazoo, pecussion instruments, tone banks, slide whistle, and Jews harp.

Press Reviews Says LARRY ELDER, aka "The Sage From South Central," Los Angeles radio talk-show host, and nationally syndicated columnist: "The first time I heard KICK IN THE BUTT, I said, "I've been waiting for this song my entire life!" To all the doofuses who bring too many items to the checkout lane; to all the inconsiderate morons who yak during movies; to all the knuckleheads who take two lanes to park; and finally, to all the whining "vicitrats" of whatever race, ethnicity, or gender, walking around with "you owe me' chips on their shoulders- THIS SONG IS FOR YOU!!!
