Artist History Did you know that Nerf Herder was formed in 1994 by Parry, Steve and original bassist Charlie Dennis? It's true. And the rest is history.Did you know that Nerf Herder's song "Van Halen" had been played on Live 105 before the band members had even gotten a copy of the CD? It's true! Fat Pete from Fat Wreck Chords, who recieved the shipment of CD's for Joey, took the song to Live 105's Aaron Axleson, who immediately put it on the air. It began to smoke, and the rest is history.Did you know that if you have a song on the radio some fool will give you money to be on their record label? It's true. Due to the success of their song "Van Halen," Nerf Herder was flown to New York, put up in a fancy hotel, driven around in a limo, taken to a strip club, and then signed to a moderate sized record contract with Arista Records. Weeks later the band would be driving around the country in a foul smelling rental van and sleeping on roll-away beds at the Days Inn every night. And the rest is history.Did you know that Nerf Herder once sang happy birthday to Clive Davis, one of the most famous guys in the music industry? It's true. Although Arista is home to such famous singers as Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, and Barry Manilow, it was Nerf Herder that was walked into the gigantic Battle-Star Galactica-likeboardroom at Arista Records and sang Happy Birthday for Clive's 103rd (approximately) birthday. The band was then given a bottle of Kristal and sent off in a limo that had once been ridden in by Demi Moore. And the rest ishistory.Did you know that Nerf Herder wrote and performed the theme song for the hot youth oriented television show, Buffy The Vampire Slayer? It's true. During the initial filming of the show, one of the cast members got a hold of NerfHerder's debut album, and soon the whole cast and crew was being subjected to Nerf Herder's music. When show creator Joss Whedon was disapointed by the theme music that the fancy "Professional" Hollywood theme music writer came up with, heasked Nerf Herder to give it a try. Not only did he love the song, but it was cheap, too. And the rest is history.Did you know that Nerf Herder has never met or spoken with anyone from Van Halen, the band that inspired their mid-level hit from January of 1997? It's true! The band did hear that Alex and Eddie Van Halen really liked the song, and the band was given permission to use theirs, and Michael Anthony and Valerie Bertinalli's images in their video for the song. David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar refused permision, Hagar going far enough as to call the band members "faggots." The video for "Van Halen" was added to regular rotation onMTV and was seen by anyone who was watching the channel at 3 in the morning. M2 played the hell out of the song. And the rest is history.Did you know that during the summer of 1999 Nerf Herder finished recording their second full length record "How To Meet Girls?"
