New Jersey Meat & Potatoes Core

About Me

Scruff, Muff and Kohut are three proud young upstanding New Jerseyans who have all known eachother off and on since they were in elementary school. They all started playing instruments, writing songs and joining bands around the same time. There were a couple of bands before Kohuff that included some combinations of the group. Kohut had been in bands with Scruff and bands with Muff, but for some reason it never occurred to them for the three to join forces. The lineup that would become Kohuff first shared a stage during an unlikely improvised set in January of 2004 as a cover band called Commence The Jigglin' in the basement of one of Scruff's co-workers at the time, a fellow by the name of Handsome Dan. The set was pretty much a total train wreck, but everybody saw the band was having fun and thus they all had equally as good a time. The Ergs, good friends of all the members of the group had started encouraging them all to end what current musical projects they were in and that the three of them become a band. They referred to Scruff, Muff and Kohut as "THE MONEY LINEUP". Finally it was decided that The Ergs might be onto something. Shortly after that a name for said group followed by combining the names of the members involved. Kohuff played their first show using that name and playing originals on March 6, 2004 at the Clearfield Fairgrounds in Clearfield, PA to a very warm reception and has been having similar luck with pretty much every show since.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 6/11/2005
Band Members: Scruff- Guitar and vocals
Kohut - Drums
Muff - Bass
Influences: we're all over the board as far as what we listen to. if we had to pick one most influential band it would be our friends The Ergs. they encouraged us to become a band in the first place. listen to the mp3's when we put them up i guess. if you hear a sound similar to a paticular artist you can ask us "hey kohuff are you into this band?" and if we are we'll tell you. and if we're not we'll tell you we're not and probably be all indignant about it like "hell no they suck. how dare you compare them to us" and if we've never heard of said group we'll look into them cuz they might indeed be cool.
Sounds Like: you ever watch those episodes of looney tunes with foghorn leghorn and that chicken hawk that wanted to be taken all seriously as a tough guy? that's totally us with hardcore. everybody who knows us doesn't buy that we're as angry or hard as we try to sound sometimes. we're just a good times rock & roll mostly punk influenced power trio. and sometimes scruff tries to get his croon on. sometimes it works if he hasn't blown out his voice early in the set trying to sound hardcore.
Record Label: we'll worry about making a record first.
Type of Label: None

diplomacy

we got a message today from a band who will remain nameless a. to avoid unneccessary beefs and b. because we don't want to give them any publicity whatsoever. the subject heading was simply ''yo"...
