Artist description I grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and I go to college at Syracuse University. And as my roommate Mark says... I'm hella cool.

Music Style Acoustic songs, some are serious and some are funny. (If you don't like it, you suck)

Musical Influences Ben Folds, Cake, Tenacious D, Guster, Beck, Bloodhound Gang, Barenaked Ladies, and of course Weezer.

Similar Artists It depends on which song. I'd like to think that I have somewhat of an original sound, but if I could be compared to somebody I guess I'd say I'm kind of a cross between Jack Black and Ben Folds.

Artist History I started playing guitar during the summer of 2001, and I've never taken a lesson. I've played at my high school, a bunch of parties, and a battle of the bands, but my proudest musical moment was playing "She Has Herpes" at the Apollo Road Tour held at the Pabst Theater in Wisconsin. There were 12 acts and my friend and I managed to make the top 4. Perhaps the scariest yet most rewarding experience of my life.

Group Members It's just Josh. My roommate Mark Hamer adds a 2nd guitar part or an occasional vocal every now and again.

Instruments Takamine acoustic guitar, an occasional beatbox, and my beautiful harmonic voice.

Albums Hence... The Weenie (Coming this summer... hopefully)
