Artist History We've been terrorizing this poor city since 1989. I started by making weird music with cheap gear and recording it on a cheap cassette machine. Today, we record weird music played on cheap gear into really nice tape machines. In between, we've played numerous sensory-bombarding multimedia shows, fought off attacks from the media, been shut down by police citing Boise's notorious amplified noise ordinance, completed several albums, gotten more radio airplay than we deserve, and put on unscheduled, illegal performances all over the city and surrounding areas.

Group Members I change band members like I change socks. I'm the evil Frank Zappa-like dictator of the band, and I make sure everyone knows it.

Press Reviews We play enough pranks on the local press, they wouldn't give us a review even if we DID send them our stuff. Our last real review was about 1993.It was a good one though.
