About Me |
|
| Kim Shattuck formed the Muffs with bassist Ronnie Barnett, drummer Criss Crass and Melanie Vammen in 1991. After two singles for indie labels Sub Pop and Sympathy for the Record Industry in 1991/92, which generated a large underground buzz, the Muffs were picked up by Warner Bros and subsequently released their powerful eponymous debut album in 1993. Shortly after, Crass left the group and was replaced temporarily by drummer Jim Laspesa for the tour. After switching to Reprise Records in 1994 and after a year of touring in venues throughout the world, the Muffs headed back into the studio to record the follow-up, Blonder and Blonder released in 1995; now a three-piece due to Vammen's departure. Right before recording Blonder and Blonder, ex- Redd Kross drummer and longtime Muffs friend Roy McDonald joined the group. Happy Birthday to Me followed in 1997 and two years later in 1999 Alert Today, Alive Tomorrow was released by Fat Wreckords; a rarities collection, Hamburger, appeared in early 2000 on Sympathy for the Record Industry...The Muffs released their new CD Really Really Happy on Five Foot Two Records during the Summer 2004 and toured the US and Japan later that year. |

Music:Member Since: 5/26/2005Band Website: the-muffs.com Band Members: KIM SHATTUCK Vocals/Guitars/Songs http://www.kimshattuck.com/ RONNIE BARNETT Bass/Backing Vocals ROY MCDONALD Drums Influences: Here are some influences: Early Kinks, Pixies, The Beatles, The Go-Gos, The Who, June Christy, Redd Kross, Ramones, Elvis Costello, The Breeders, The Creation, Frank Black, Thelonious Monk, Lionel Hampton, Billie Holiday, Bobby Darin, Dean Martin, Sarah Vaughan, Anita O'Day and much much more. We love strong melodies and inventive chord changes. We're actually kind of self influenced at this point in our careers. And we like it that way! Sounds Like: We sound like ourselves. Actually, it's kind of hard to say. I think we sound utterly original, but maybe we are the wrong people to ask.... Record Label: Five Foot Two/Oglio/Warner Bros/Reprise/Fat Type of Label: Indie |
