(Lucy is the name of our bass player’s not-so-popular dog)We’ve played at most of the top bars in the Twin Cities In addition, we’ve received airplay on KQRS 92.5 FM, KTCZ 97.1 FM and KFAI 90.3 FM in the Twin Cities.We’ve just completed our first album, bipolar expedition, which was recorded at Third Ear in Minneapolis with well-known local producer Tom Herbers (Jayhawks, Gear Daddies, Honeydogs) and features a guest performance by Randy Broughten, formerly of the Gear Daddies. The album title is descriptive of the varying styles and moods of our music which has been referred to as acid country and folk-ternative, whatever those things mean.

    Artist History
    David Berntson formed the roots of the band in 1991 in Lisbon, North Dakota as THROBBIN NOGGIN. Known for their three-chord garage sound, the band soon changed their name to VICIOUS INNUENDO and released several songs independently.After a short hiatus, the band came back for a now legendary show at the Teamsters Hall in Fargo, North Dakota in January of 1995,this time without Volk, but adding Jeff Fox on drums. A few months later, VI, as they were widely known, added Chris (Disco) Berg on bass. Berg and Fox left VI, and in late 1996 formed SINISTER PIG, with Berntson and Scott Hagberg. The band’s sound became more pop-like,and in early 1997 Jeff Fox was replaced by Steve Schultz. In mid 1998, Hagberg was replaced with Greg (Mick) Rhodes and the name of the band waschanged to SHOOT LUCY, after Berg’s dog, who isn’t too popular with the other members of the band. In June of 1999 shoot lucy replaced Rhodes on lead guitar with Dave Nahan, The band's sound become more countrified, and they began to perform more regularly.

    Assign pseudo-country acoustic guitars to a Bodeans/Wallflowers groove, and Shoot Lucy is a can't miss for a Tuesday drinkin' night at the Cabooze.If you've been waiting for another potential Oar/Fin sensation, this is the band to watch. - Demorama<p> Some great hard rockers along with some great ballads. If you like lyrics with a touch of comedy, here you go.- John Olmstead/Top Ten of 2000
