Artist History Craving a hard dose of electrified lunacy powered by megavolt jolts of coon-ass funk, MONEYSHOT formed in February of 2001 by four key members of the Dallas original ska band, Idiot Box. The band leaves the brass behind and gets back to the music that made them musicians in the first place... Pure Balls-Out, In-Yer-Face Rock n' Roll! The evil-twincarnation transpired after many grueling rehearsals, a few key-member sabbaticals, and too many brass replacements with virtually no rock n' roll rewards. The time was high for them to say, "Let's just go kick some fuckin' ass"... And so they did. With a week's notice, the band put together two amazing 45-minute sets of pure gut-slappin' rock n' roll energy for nearly 800 people at Dallas' Copper Tank Brewery in Deep Ellum. Their stage has been set for stardom. The earliest known trace of the band was in 1999 as The Thumbs. The Thumbs made their one... and only... live appearance as an opening act for Idiot Box in August of that year. The then-three-piece group consisted of Scotty B on vocals and guitar and Patrick Gary, Idiot Box trombonist, on bass. Their set was thrown together in one night, and it consisted of many would-be Moneyshot originals. They met their drummer the night of the gig. Does it get any more interesting than that? Yes, of course it does. Idiot Box went on to pick up Scotty B as their new vocalist; and after a year's-worth of high-steppin stage antics, Moneyshot - The American Boogie Gods was born.
