lobe - shellack the merkin

Heavy bass on bass action. As if a bass player had grown two heads and four arms and managed to find a drummer that didn't mind the weirdness.

Lobe is Dead! Long Live Lobe! Born in the fall of 2000, Lobe stands as a shining example of not letting a lack of traditional instrumentation get in your way. Bass players Marc and Isaac were eager to make music and got right down to it. Sharing a love of bands both heavy and weird, they set out to forge their own sound. After years of playing with different drummers, including a short stint with Marc behind the kit (see: Gazebo of Destruction), they found a true believer in Steve. After several years slugging it out in the underground, the band split up in the spring of 2006 to focus on other projects.

Marc and Steve both contributed some drumming talents to the legendary Medlar Doss, leading to the eventual formation of Slave Traitor, where you can find them flexing their metal muscles. Isaac and Marc continue to play a Gazebo of Destruction gig once or twice a year and hope to get some recording done sometime this century. Isaac has also joined up with the funsters of Happy Birthday Secret Weapon to play the kind of inaccessable brainy pop music he always wanted to play. As for Lobe, we would be glad to reunite if you've got a multi-million dollar recording contract for us.
