It was the winter of '87 a few of us in the autoworkers union got laid off indefinitly. All of our families either died from the cold, walked out on us, or vice versa... and in either case life turned for the worse. So we decided to denounce our families and our faith. We took refuge at several local bars and started to write and record OUR own battle hymns. Firmly beleiving that the world now owed us, it was obvious; take back music and set it to the beats of OUR lives... eatting meat, sleeping in our trucks, moving back to moms, violent arrests, hunting sasquatch, gambling, fishing, exposing ourselves and so forth. Our mission became clear, sort of...BEERGASM! We decided that beer ruled and orgasms ruled. Hence, we formed the most appropriate band ever. Our songs speak to us. As the 90's came about we got our big break in music! We got a chance to perform live opening for FOGHAT at the 91' Detroit Thunderfest. Also we toured extensively with Black Oak Arkansas. We were signed to Poo-Stick records and our second tour was in the making to support our debut album "Tuna Noodle Surprise". Tragically our then frontman Griff Sackbagg was jailed for the murder of his sons little league baseball umpire after a bogus call. Our career quickly folded and we went back to working menial jobs such as meat slicers and elementary school janitors. We resurfaced to play Ol' Tommy Gibbons funeral in 2000 and shortly there after to play a local Wanskeegan benefeit for ball cancer. In an ironic twist of events then bassist Toad Pingus was discrotaled in a turkey carving mishap only 2 days later. Deeply upset by these occurances in his already troubled life doubled with the horrors of 9-11 the last surviving member of the band ended is own life on a fishing boat on Bud Lake in 2004. He elaboratly penciled out his song lyrics and his notes on thousands of sheets of deli paper and left them in his one room apartment. Here they were discovered by three young vigilante-marriagists namely the current BEERGASM lineup and the rest is well... history! We will carry the torch and change the world with our serious songs like Violent Poo-Kano and Eating is a Sport!
