I'll be interviewing the RIVERBOTTOM NIGHTMARE BAND this week. Any questions for them, or any comments for Emmet Otter on how to build a good washtub bass?

yeah, what the hell does the fish do anyway?

The lead singer is an obvious Motorhead fan.

It was all about the spitting snake. He ruled.

My roommate did an open mic sorta thing in college that was pretty funny. It wasn't really karaoke, but it was sort of like it with a live band. He goes up there all drunk and is like, "Just play anything, I'll sing along with it" and they looked at him like he was stupid and so he quickly adds, "Oh, I dunno, do you know any AC/DC? How about [I think it was 'For Those About To Rock']" and they started playing and he starts singing We're the Riverbottom Nightmare Band, Riverbottom Nightmare Band... It was especially funny because that's all he knew as far as lyrics. He had a pretty cool scratchy gutteral voice, though. Too bad he looked like a retard.

Wasn't there a Bob Dylan critique in those lyrics? Something like "...we hate what we don't understand...River Bottom Nightmare Band" (cf. Times They are A-Changin': "Don't criticize what you can't understand.")

I hadn't thought about RBNB in at least ten years -- this thread is incredible. This was one of those barely-remembered things that I never thought I could share with anybody. Nice work.

Ironically, Mark, ALL IVE DONE FOR THE PAST TEN YEARS is THINK ABOUT THE RIVERBOTTOM NIGHTMARE BAND....and HAll and Oates.

two months pass...

the music for the song they sang was based off of Foxy Lady by Jimi Hendrix. .02 out.

In the interview, please inquire as to how they could have mistaken Emmet and his pals for birds... Also, ask them where they got those cool little snowmobiles.

the river bottom nightmare band has googling fans!

two years pass...

This question is for the leader of this ruthless crew: Chuck. How did your on-again off-again relationship with Ma' play into your performance during the Frog Hollow talent show? It seemed you played with greater intensity...or was it purpose...than when you play the larger Stadium venues.
