About Me

hi, my name is john, better known as BILL's brother, and i started bleat in order to make any kind of music without restraint under one umbrella

after one lp of warped technopunk ("igloo") and a children's rock lp ("spirograffe"), bleat expanded to a trio with daren follower on bass and darryl leonard on drums

together we made the tumbleweeds-and-pixies "spoke", and the more straightforward "ugly kisser"

bleat makes whatever kind of music we want to make

we regularly get confused as to who is making what sound-- where is that organ sound coming from? it must be one of us...

there is a lot of feedback

a bleat 45 was released in 1996, and a cd in 2001

i edited my profile with thomas's english muffin v4.4
