The World's Greatest Rock Band

Crying onions and flannel!

I love Batnose! I think they are the greatest! Sadly over looked is thier Manager... Iron Money bags Gordon. He runs the band like a track team, and never says stop. His beginnings in the world of music include Managing for Steely Dan, Rush, Everly Brothers, Little Feat, Offspring, and a short stint with Jewel. He changed the face of Managing and taught Les Paul all he knew about recording! There is even reports that he plays a mean Kazoo. I have never seen a band adore their Manager as much as Batnose does. He works them hard, but gets the results he could have only dreamed of when he started out singing for coppers on the subway in NYC. He keeps his private live pretty quiet, but there have been reports that he and the band's married drummer steal away for vacations at his private Island, just off the coasts of Ireland.

Inside info on "Ol' Iron Moneybags"

He also plays a mean digideroo, which can be heard on track three of "Bagels" (Batnose's second album) which is a song called "Nummy Metallic Flying Tater Pimps and Me". Not to be overlooked.

not the same

I've been a Bathead since about '97 and I have to say, the scene has changed a lot. The audiences are all made up of teenyboppers and the ng members all have the IQs of illiterate monkeys. When I go to the shows, I really only go to see my friends, and I spend the entire time talking to them rather than listening to the band. In fact, sometimes we don't even enter the venue anymore; instead, we stand outside and talk and make faces at all the pathetic people going inside, who actually still like seeing the band. Especially since most of them are newbie Batheads who've jumped on the bandwagon since '99...and everybody knows that all the cool people in the Bathead community joined between '93-'98. I feel, and rightly so, that it is my responsibility as a long- time Bathead to keep the younger generation in line...by, of course, ignoring them in person and mercilessly taunting them behind their backs at every opportunity. That's the Bathead way. Of course, you Fruheads probably wouldn't understand any of this, would you?

wacky

These gys are crazy and none knows better than, I, their Roadie :) I started out with the Dusty Shoes Blues Band but once the Batnose Brigade got together I knew I had to be a part of it :) I reguarly have to clean assorted food products off of the intruments as the band members are all fond of onstage foodfights I usually don't mind except I have forbidden the use of Kraft macaroni - Have you ever tried to clean that stuff off once it's dried? *grrr* The Batheads are great and I try to hang out with them as much as posible because without them we'd just be another really super great band.

If a blue lobster could drink a bottle of Jolt and sing a duet with Frank Zappa

...this band would be the result. They're first song "The Batnose Song" is sure to be a hit on the classic rock, white rap, and salsa charts. Definitly check them out.

the best band i've had the pleasure of jamming with

i consider myself the luckiest chica on earth to have had the opportunity to play jew's harp in the famed 2000 batnose sessions. this group inspires me beyond belief.

Jian's Bat Mitzvah by The Funky Mustard

I bet you didn't know this, but one of the members of Batnose was previously in a band by the name of The Funky Mustard. If you want embarassing photos of Leah in this new wave 80's funk band, send me large amounts of money. :)

quirky, frenetic....odd

how could a band with julie 'FROOOOLIE' horncastle as lead singer, carey on guitar, and my illustrious sister, jaci, on mouth-harp be anything but good???? hell, i may even sit in and play 'first egg' sometime.....

incredible

we've been trying to get them to open for us for years, but the tour schedules have never coincided. one of these days, though....

The World's Greatest Rock Band

Batnose is my favorite band, Fruvous included. With members spanning the continent and two nations their unique sound is unmatched. The lineup is. Rod Horncastle: Electric Guitar and Flugelhorn J�lie Horncastle: Drums and Vocals Leah Bender: Lead Vocals, Acoustic Guitar and Valve Trombone. Carey Farrell: Lead Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, and Slide Trombone. Rather than give you my opinions let me just quote others. Paul McCartney:"Other bands wish they were the Beatles, We wish we were Batnose." Mick Jagger: "We used to be the greatest rock and roll band in the world, now its Batnose." Eric Clapton: "If I took off a year and practiced 18 hours a day maybe I could learn to play as well as Rod Horncastle." Jian Ghomeshi: "I'm glad that J�lie has her own band because Fr�vous would drop me in a second for her. She not only plays better she even sexier: Bob Dylan: "For years people would call this artist or that the new Bob Dylan, Who would have thought that I'd be passing the torch to Leah, a 15 year old girl from Margate NJ?"] Joni Mitchell: If I could write one song and sing it as well as Carey I'd retire, I could never top that.

musical integrity and underwear!

Their live shows are not to be missed, especially when they break out the whipped cream. Batnose must be seen to be believed!

Not just the World's Greatest Rock band but the Galaxy's

I was introduced to Batnose from some other Fruheads and was immediately hooked. My copy of their third album, "Just Deserts" aka "The White Album" with the original "Whipped Cream" cover is one of my most prized possesions. Nothing I know of combines humor with pure sex like Batnose. H2G2 Update: The entry for Earth in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has been revised again it now reads: Mostly Harmless and the homeworld of Batnose the Galaxy's Greatest Rock and Roll Band.
