Whats up yall, I am a pirate radio dj on a station in northern California called Humboldt Free Radio Alliance. I do a 2 hour show every week and want to do an entire show of one man garage bands. Any one have any suggestions? I have a few already: bbq, King Lollipop and Dead Elvis. Any suggestions of who to check out would be great. 

Yeah , seemed like a longshot , but , who can be sure? Actually , The Ledge started out as a one man band , himself.

You mean , Anus Presley , who used to guest with The Butthole Surfers , or someone else?

Not the Butthole's.  This guy is sort of like 'Hasil Adkins meets The Legendary Stardust Cowboy'  I don't know anything about him butt eye gots me 4 songs of his, cheers

Gotta give a shout for three guys I saw live recently

Scott H Biram

Honkeyfinger and Dave Arcari

Molly Gene One Whoaman Band plays some some pretty mean punk blues, worth checking out if you've not heard her before

I had this macho hardass redneck jerkoff I was sharing a studio space with in school, I accidentally on purpose played "Revenge of Anus Presley" when he was in the room. He never came back. These others , I have'nt heard of. Good names , most of 'em. We had a big One Man Band FESTIVAL IN CHICAGO , ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO. There  were someting like 150 performers in several venues.

I love OMB's !!  here's a couple of links to a fella from N.Z.

Cheers

Absolutely. I just assumed anyone who's this interested in One Man Bands knows all about Hasil Adkins . But , on a similar note , while we're talking about artists who did'nt start doing this 10 years ago , or less , Jack Starr is also a must.

Like Rob said, look for that double LP comp called "Attack of the One Man Bands" that came out in 2007. It's a fantastic sampling of lots of well-known OMBs as well as lots of obscurities.

Also, you can't start a thread like this without mentioning the Godfather of the One Man Band, Hasil Adkins. Seek out and buy anything you can get your hands on by the Haze. He's phenomenal.

Oh yeah, John Schooley is good, too (former guitarist of the Revelators and the Hard Feelings).

Check out Vic Ruggiero from the Slackers.
