==Overview==
Carnival Art's lineup included frontman [[Michael P.

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.
