About Me |
|
| The PB Army was formed in 2001 by ex-Chicken Dog members Micah Shimborske (guitar) and Keith Bergman (drums). After numerous auditions ranging from the awkward to the really awkward, Bergman took over the lead vocal position, providing new life for tired old Don Henley and Phil Collins jokes for years to come.
With bassist Mahlon Orrin, the band cut two albums, 2003's Inebriates, Equivocators and Mockers of the Devil Himself and 2005's Spine For the Snapback. Several years of health problems, lineup uncertainty, and booking difficulties followed, although the band has maintained a live presence and has toured as recently as late summer of 2007. As of now, Bergman and Shimborske are the core of the band, and are far too allergic to awkward auditions to hire anyone else. For their long-delayed third album, First We Sleep Forever... Then We Eat the World, numerous friends will be contributing bass tracks and whatever else feels good at the time. At this writing, the album is on hold while the band's preferred studio relocates and remodels - the goal is to have the record out by the end of spring. The PB Army has shared the stage with some really nice people, including Clutch, Monster Magnet, The Liars, High on Fire, Jucifer, Spirit Caravan, Place of Skulls, Heroine Sheiks, Dixie Witch, Amplified Heat, Honky, Solace, Novadriver, Tricky Woo, Alabama Thunderpussy, Sixty Watt Shaman, Five Horse Johnson, Broadzilla, and probably more that we can't remember. We've done some really horrible tours and some really fun ones, we've been on a few compilations (some of which we actually got copies of), we've sold lots of shirts and most of the CDs we've printed, and overall we've had a good enough time that we keep at it long after anyone with half a brain would have gone home. We're not out to make it big, change the face of rock and roll, land a killer gear endorsement, be the most brutal/heavy/quintessentially stoner band you've ever heard, or dazzle you with the finesse of our technical chops. We won't play your battle of the bands or sell tickets to open for someone at your club, but it's nothing personal, we're just too old for that sort of hoopla. We have a really good time playing our particular nerdy stoner-pop whatever. We like what we do, and we're always happy if you like it too. We're even happier if we can sleep on your floor, or at least get directions to the nearest thrift store and/or greasy spoon. The PB Army is gonna be out and about in 2008, touring for the new record. Come say hi, harass whoever's playing bass, and bring us sandwiches and beer. Thanks. P.S. We don't do "pay-to-play" shows and we don't play battles of the bands. It's nothing personal. |
