Artist History WEIRD PAUL is a two-piece that had an album on Homestead records. THE BLISSFUL IDIOTS were a three-to-four piece that plays mostly different material, but it's all written by PAUL PETROSKEY, who also records solo material, and has been doing so for 14 years. In between there was another four piece band called THE BLAZING BULKHEADS. Paul is beginning work on a new album with a new group REVENGE OF THE NERDS.
