About Me



we are the pigs
people re-mover
Many bands write these biographies trying to explain the story leading up to the music. As if you were to understand the band mates more and how they met, you would then have a better understanding of the music and message they are trying to convey. This sometimes does apply, mostly with emotional bands or bands that only play for their friends. The truth about our crazy little project is, none of this crap matters. We love to play music, we enjoy it loud and hard and we have been around the music scene long enough that we really don’t care too much about what people think. No offense, if you like what we do then we appreciate that very much. But if you don’t, we are probably not too concerned about irritating you. We are having too much fun. Also, our lyrics do not necessarily mean anything. The words just come out and we write them down and repeat them. We’re not great singers but so far singers tend to be pre-Madonna’s with loads of self-righteous crap they feel you need to understand to be a better person. We are not all wrapped up in depression, drugs and the higher power. We just like to rock out and sound unique. We hope you like it.

Band Members:Dustin Aller Aller was born in Los Angeles in 1965 four months ahead of the Watts riots. He absorbed the west coast 60's vibe for the first few years of his life then his family moved to Detroit two months before they staged their very own riots there. He first picked up a guitar around 1976 and hopes to one day learn how to play it. He recorded and toured with Shock Therapy in the late 80's and early 90's before moving to Germany. There, he formed the cult band Joe Became Judas and toured all over Europe before moving back to Detroit in 1998. his musical influences are Butthole Surfers, Husker Du, Dead Kennedys, Black Sabbath (naturally) and, more recently, Slipknot. In Grommet he plays bass and tries to sing.

Michael Korn The longhaired thick motherfucker playing the ’73 Gibson SG and ’82 blue “birds eye maple” Gibson Les Paul is Michael Yale Korn. Especially loyal to the 100 watt Marshall tone, Korn does not throw any fluff tone tricks to make him sound better then he is. He likes you to hear when he fucks up so you know when he wails. He currently hates the band that stole his last name. Although their first couple of albums were really good, they went for shit. They sold out to the fat music scoundrels that have no talent, do not care about talent and make a butt load of money off talent while constantly presenting crap ideas about how the band can improve their image to the fans, (and they know because they have been in the business for soooo long). Fuck them! Music will eventually be free because musicians will wake the fuck up and take a shit on these assholes. Korn currently resides in Royal Oak, drinks beer with Jimmy Doom at Gusoline Alley and is a certified sommelier working for the top wine Importer/Distributor in the area. .


Mark "Half Moon" Chudy A professional landscape artist, a fashion icon who is never caught on a bad day, the creator of “Chudy Time” of which we all seem to search for and can not manifest and a master of rhythm. Always playing but never fooling around, the brother is the center of the groove and the outer rim of implosion. Chudy has been in many bands like Stiff Nipple, Lex Luther, MEW, Shock Therapy, Quixotic, Water Closet, Vengeance, One of These Days, 4SG, Hi Fi Party, Big Rifle Club, Ploseph Jum Trio, The Foo Flappers and Bonus Williams. His style is like Keith Moon and Mitch Mitchell just drank a bunch of carrot juice and took a long hot shower.
Influences: Black Sabbath, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Buthole Surfers, Primus, Frank Zappa, Slipknot, System of A Down, Shellac, Smashing Pumpkins, Husker Du, Helmet, Fugazi, Death Angel, Ministry
Sounds Like: Grommet
Record Label: the nonexistent kind
