Artist History Fifteen years from conception to exception, The Local Anaesthetics were assembled from disgruntled members of real and imaginary bands like Headliner, Band o' Fun, Vaseline Alley, and Buns n' Noses. As in many close-knit groups where members share the same personality, these guys even share the same body at times. How does a band do this without driving each other nuts? Well, they never said they weren't nuts. And neither did we.
