Formed in Oakland, California, USA in 1985 under the name Acid Rain with the demo album "We Were All Very Worried." They eventually changed their name to Idiot Flesh prior to the release of their first album in 1990. After Idiot Flesh disbanded in the late 90's, lead singer Nils Frykdahl and bassist/producer Dan Rathbun later formed Sleepytime Gorilla Museum.
Known to tour the US in a converted city bus with Rathbun as the driver/mechanic, with the windshield destination banner of HELL. Besides their wild performances which embodied a "rock against rock" ethos, they were also known to defy classification with marching band routines, performing puppet shows, and playing household items as instruments (in tune). After finding few financial rewards for their increasingly complex stage show, Idiot Flesh disbanded in 1998.

SLAYER says hold my fuckin beer
@putrefiedprim
@@snorksonforks two completely different types of music. but even if we were judging music for how heavy or kickass it is, Slayer wouldn’t make the final cut.
@modifidious
This album turns 26 years old today!
@skulengu6854
I saw them for the first time in fabulous Fresno, California. They were performing with my friends in Guano and E is for Elephant. I learned from "Puppet Theater" that if you stay awake for 4 days straight that you will be able to identify the extra terrestrial aliens that walk among us.
The Nothing Show remains one of my top 10 desert island discs.
Oakland gave us many great bands like Sly and the Family Stone, Tower of Power and Digital Underground. This was the next logical step in that progression.
Bring da noise, bring da funk mother f'ers!
