Artist History Spawned from the depths of the urban wasteland of West Los Angeles, Noodle Muffin is an underground, Alternative band known for their eclectic sound, catchy melodies, and twisted, humorous lyrics. Noodle Muffin has previously assaulted the world with two 7" EPs, a 5-song CD EP, and a full-length CD. Noodle Muffin's critically acclaimed "Teaspoons of Sin" CD was unleashed by Fyoog State Records in 1999 (available now at Amazon.Com). Their new CD “Magnum Dopus” is a fun-filled romp across the post-millennial soundscape. Both “Magnum Dopus” and "Teaspoons of Sin" contains several songs produced by renown Indie producer Kramer (Bongwater, Butthole Surfers, Shimmy Disc, etc.) During their college days, Noodle Muffin sabotaged the 1996 Presidential election by releasing the "Bob Dole" EP. Released under the pseudonym Bobdole, this 10-song, 7” single was distributed by K, and received lots of critical acclaim and airplay on such stations as KROQ ("The Kevin and Bean Show") and on the nationally syndicated "Dr. Demento Show". Noodle Muffin frequently performs around the L.A. area and tours regularly. When they aren't making finely-crafted, artistic noise, Noodle Muffin can be found in a drunken stupor, screaming profanities at pedestrians at the corner of Sepulveda and National in West L.A..

Press Reviews "Alternative Avante-garde noise rock that reminds me of something thatwould come out on Shimmy Disk. ... (Noodle Muffin's Teaspoons of Sin CD has) quite a fewcool songs, that either groove, or make me laugh, or have a nicelayered noise/music combo..." - Punk Planet "(Noodle Muffin's) sound resembles well-respected artists like the Pixiesand Sonic Youth ... Track 2, "Pigs!" and track 4, "Big Man" (from the"Oh, The Huge Manatee" EP) are catchy and college-radio friendly forhead-bobbing or rocking out." - Skratch "With 10 quick hits to delight your political fancy, (Bobdole's) tunesbounce around from Beastie Boy-like jam raps to speedy punksing-alongs.
