Band Members: "Incredible Shrinking Human Race"
Gluey Newton - Vocals
psuedo-anti-counterrevolutionary-ambidextrous, left winged (not to busy)
Gluey Newton was a fried-and-true veteran of the West Coast punk rock scene. He was the singer for seminal punk band, Secret Hate, for more than 20 years. His influence even reached Sublime who covered Newtons' tune, "Ballad of Johnny Butt". Newton is also the editor for "Foreign Policy Now" and "Better Gardens for Posioned Dirt". He is now done and over it., and will be locking himself alone in the green room as much as possible . nighty nite.
Greg "Mudd" Lowther - Drums
raconteur-entrepeneur-right handed , right winged, (and very busy)
"check the absorbancy of your waffles americA!"Known as "Mudd", drummer Greg Lowther is also a veteran of the West Coast punk rock scene. Hes played drums for Long Beach's legendary Falling Idols and 4.3million other bands for the past 20+ years. Lowther also owns and operates Long Beach Records . He is also the prime minister of Pakurbeekistan (in exile of course) and can be found shipping hot steam aboard "The Upper Tanker".
H.M.S. Bradfordshirington III - Guitar
guitar/chef -known to "kick it up a notch". Hopeless romantic (see the tear jerking ballad "hitman")-
The Shire is a well-versed guitarist from Long Beach. Over the past few years, Shirington has played with such Long Beach acts as the DeadBeat Dads, Buzzbomb, and PunKaroke. The Shire is the glue in this factory , the catalyst if you will , or perhaps better the "hardening" agent . He is able to pull Secret Blake away from his insect nation and sharpen him to the task at hand. The Shire is a man of impeccable pedigree and rhythm.
Gluey XIV - Guitar
guitar/troubador -known to many as dreamy buncake (Secret Blake), an uncanny songwriter sensitive to the burdens of the unsung and unseen world of insects, he is capable of spending days burning ants with a magnifying glass.
Guitarist Gluey XIV (Secret Hate) is known in the local music scene as "that strange guy in the beret and monocle" and for surviving the campaigns and sloganeering of Nancy Reagan and Betty Crocker. Blake is not just another team-player guitarist with a refreshing style and sound, he is perhaps the most versatile sea-going mammal ever (that includes Andy and Bruce Irons). If you get a chance ask him about his well trained and room sized ant farm that he affectionately calls Antschwitz.
Dr. Dennis Scummy Ph.d- Intellectual overlord and cutting edge societal engineer. Known for his ground breaking work deep in the amazonian jungles studying the anthropomorphic relationships between plant , animal and the ancient god "pharmacea" . We are delighted to add him to the board of directors.
Hugh "Huff" Huffer- 4 stringer/televisionary
A Modern guy with ol' world charm
When Huff isnt hanging with model glue or playing bass for Pennywise, he is tending his flock of engineered half man/half monkeys and other DNA oddities. Soon his army of not quite right monkey men will be complete, "and then its on!!!"
We've always got room for another bass player. So lets go to the Glue Factory "bass player bullpen":
The Rollie Fingers of bass relievers minus the exciting mustache, Erilique, on loan from Shortbus occasionally fills in, and delivers his four-seam splitty and major label interest. Maybe you know him from his earlier works: Del Noah, Hogan's Heroes and errrr, oh yeah....SUBLIME...that's right hippies, bow-down!!!
The Iotola of sub-sonica: Tyson Parrish of 3rd Alley, known for his low-cut mesh briefs and love of beef jerky (the cowboy treat), plays his thump-stick when needed (does that sound gay?). Whatever, buy him some Sparks and he's yours. Semper Fi!
White Hot Panther: Odellmer, turns up the fiyyyyre on glue factory's remedial, uncreative bass lines while sexing up their out of the pocket timing problems. Odellmer doesn't speak much English, but damn that hippie can play the bass.
Influences: The supersonic high pitch squeel hidden to all outside of the animal kingdom
Sounds Like: RATT and POISON arguing over hairspray while the lead singer for the SCORPIONS debates the benefits of hairplugs over the sound of WHITESNAKE trying to get out of that fence they sang in , in that one video that had all that fog and stuff.
