Artist description A music freak and his imaginary friends serve up tasty morsels of delicious crunch laced with elements of punk, hip hop, jazz, classical, noise and whatever.

Music Style Anything and everything. Each song should be its own trip. Chocolate-covered chaos, shellshocked sunshine, funkified freakfurters, damaged diamonds, battered beauty, buttered booty and lots of fun for everyone.

Musical Influences Queen, The Muffs, MC5, Cornelius, Fatboy Slim, Slapp Happy Humphrey, Hot Toasters, the deadwood divine, System Of A Down, Ben Harper, Zep, Scorpions, UFO, Rainbow, Deep Purple, Stryper, Apollo 440, Jungle Brothers, De La Soul, Darrell Evans, Pizzicato Five, Fantastic Plastic Machine, Lionrock, God, etc.

Similar Artists Hopefully nobody; my influences from Queen or the Muffs might show through on some imaginary planet I came from.

Artist History I was born a middle-class white child, true without a clue. After i quit smoking crack i started writing a bunch of songs, then finally made a demo tape on a four-track a few years back. Now i'm just trying to get the right equipment to make them sound as beautiful as they do in my head. I'd like to do it all myself but i might need a singer. I guess that's about it. Oh, previous bands i was in include: Twinkle In An Eye, Pampered, Fussbudget, The Young Crayon-Eaters, The Shrinking Violets, Clueless Youth, The Band Geeks, Teenybopper, The Reborn, So Much For That, Degenerate, White Dreamers On Dope, Regeneration, Higher Power, The Dry Drunks, Free At Last, Fear of Success, How Do They Do It, Who Am I, What Is God, Make Love Not Money, People Rule, All For One, No Boundary. And now i am Modicum: A Contemporary Climax. Let's boogie
