    Artist description
    We are the Head brothers out of San Diego, LemonHead and Rubbahead. We make music that the record companies hate but our fans love! Thismeans if you like MTV or shop at Sam Goody, you'll definitely hate us. This is music for listening. It's not background music, it's not for listening to on mindwarp drugs, and it's certainly not for dancing. Our music requests -- nay, demands! -- your full and coherent attention. Our music will give you more than you put in, but if you don't put any effort into listening, you won't enjoy it. Period.

    Artist History
    Smush officially formed in 1999, but it really began in 1985, when Lemon Head, aged six, and Rubba Head, aged four, were locked in the basement of our parent's house. We were stuck there for three years, until Lemon Head developed the finger strength to play Chopin's Flight of the Bumblebee at full volume on the Hammond B3 in the basement. When the police asked us why we didn't call for help, Lemon Head slapped his forehead as hard as Rose did at the end of Titanic when she realized that if she had just taken the lifeboat when it was offered to her, Jack could've survived by climbing onto that door. And when we later found a can of WD-40 hiding in plain sight that we could've used to grease up that rusty volume slider, Rubba Head slapped it too. But how the world had changed since our incarceration! Ronald Reagan had revitalized the economy, the Nintendo Entertainment System had gone through the roof, IBM introduced the first laptop computer, and fly-fishing was invented. The first time Lemon Head saw someone fly-fishing through the new hole in the roof, he thought the guy was trying to catch a bird. Turned out he was just trying to catch a fly. Ha ha! I got a million of 'em, folks! Tune in to next week's issue, where I tell you about how William Golding ruined our lives.
