Artist description The premise was simple: parody any and all musical styles. What we didn't count on was that we would quickly develop a distinct style of our own. Most of the songs are based on cartoon characters created by our lyricist, Brett, thus the moniker, Cartoon Music.

Artist History Formed in 1987 as a rap group, Elastic Goldfish quickly embraced other musical styles and before too long found themselves sounding quite a bit like polka-meets-hillbilly-meets-psychedelica-with-a-dance-beat-you-can-sit-and-relax-to. The two members (along with "the 3rd Goldfish", The Odd Horseman on guitar) rarely play live but still managed to find a following on local college radio (in northeastern Ohio) during the late 80's. Their journey through depravity continues still today.
