The Poop House Jug Band

About Me

Once upon a time, in central Ohio, amidst the Saturns and vanilla Frostys, there was a jug band. Not just any old run-of-the-mill jug band mind you. These boys had the longest beards, the hillbilliest songs, and rarely even played the jug. They were of course, The Poop House Jug Band.Breaking the shackles of the traditional jug band genre, the Poop House boys spent years developing their unique sound. At times pure hillbilly jug band, at other times hillbilly country band, at still other times hillbilly junk rock band, always a common thread can be found... That’s right, luxurious facial hair.A literal mountain of a man, Cowpoke Pete is arguably the best washtub twanger this side of the Olentangy. Dark and mysterious, Jumbo has been known to strum, bow or pluck all sorts of stringed things. Perhaps the most respected mildly retarded hillbilly in Franklin County, Poop House “sings” and “strums” the “guitar”. Light and not very mysterious at all, The Professor is a genius of the guitar and also an above average clapper. Which brings us to the Incredible Hulk of the band (you know, shirtless, an affinity for purple pants), Stomp Winchester III bangs on things.This year our boys, over a few late summer afternoons and a few cases of Faygo grape soda, holed themselves up in the basement of Poop House’s home, which has affectionately been dubbed “Old Squatty”, and set to the task of capturing to tape the majestic glory of this ground breaking jug-rock sound of theirs. Thusly, The Old Squatty Sessions were birthed into a virtually uncaring world. The instuments were set up. The room was miked. The songs were played. The tape rolled. Everything was recorded live with little post-recording mumbo- jumbo. Yes, those are live fade-outs. Yes, someone is playing the bannister. Yes, there is a song touting the cleanliness of buttholes sung in the round. Believe it.Now you, gentle listener, have the enviable honor of owning a pair of ears that are among the first to hear the results of these ground breaking sessions. So, grab a PB & J sandwich, a can of grape pop, kick your feet up and wrap those ears of yours around the hit of the summer: The Poop House Jug Band’s OLD SQUATTY SESSIONS!

A GREAT interview by John Ross for the Columbus Alive

Jug Shack by John Ross Old Squatty isn't the grandest abode..a quaint ranch with plain siding and a nice yard..but it has a basement, and that's all the Poop House Jug Band needed to hone its sound. "...
