Idiot Flesh - Chicken Little


Spawning from the Oakland, California group Acid Rain, who released a demo album "We Were All Very Worried" in 1987, the members renamed the group Idiot Flesh prior to the release of their first album "Tales of Instant Knowledge and Sure Death" in 1990. The group is characterized by its use of non-traditional instrumentation, such as screwdrivers, bicycle horns, and other odd or seemingly random objects to create their music. Their live shows featured everything from marching band acts to puppet shows. The group disbanded in 1998 before completing their fifth album and the various members went off into splinter groups. The most well-known of these groups is Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. Fans of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum will probably find much to enjoy with this group as both groups have a somewhat similar approach and musical style.  From: https://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=2860
