==Overview== | |||
Carnival Art's lineup included frontman [[Michael P. Tak]], guitarist [[Ed]] (previously of [[Jane's Addiction]]), drummer Keith Fallis, and (beginning with 1991's ''[[Thrumdrone]]'') [[Weezer]]'s [[Brian Bell]] on bass. In its short existence, the unit managed to release three full-length albums, two EPs, and a smattering of b-sides and compilation appearances, both exclusive and previously released. | |||
Although on the roster of influential alternative label [[Beggars Banquet Records|Beggars Banquet]], Carnival Art received minimal radio or video airplay (although one video did manage to be lambasted by the legendary ''Beavis & Butt-head''!), which mirrored their miniscule record sales. The label eventually dropped them, but not before they themselves began to implode. | Although on the roster of influential alternative label [[Beggars Banquet Records|Beggars Banquet]], Carnival Art received minimal radio or video airplay (although one video did manage to be lambasted by the legendary ''Beavis & Butt-head''!), which mirrored their miniscule record sales.
