The Shmoes

We're the WORLD-FAMOUS Shmoes.

About Me

Songs will be available as soon as we get around to recording them.We don't take ourselves very seriously, we just play music for fun. Our shows are always free. You have to come see a show to understand what the Shmoes are really all about.We also have a group of people that wants to be just like the Shmoes, so they formed a Shmoes tribute band called "The Pep Tides." We can't understand why they like us so much, but we are flattered nonetheless.
