Carnival Art's lineup included frontman [[Michael P. Tak]], bassist-turned-guitarist [[Ed]] (previously of [[Jane's Addiction]]), drummer Keith Fallis, guitarist Shane Paul Rhody (who was out of the band after the first album), and (beginning with 1990's ''[[Dig]]'' EP) future [[Weezer]] member [[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 the band, but not before they themselves began to implode.  After a brief, but failed, attempt to land another deal under the name Jerkwater, the unit was on the verge of disbanding.

Coincidentally, it was around this time that Bell discovered a new band on the Los Angeles scene...
==Where Are They Now?==
After Carnival Art split, Fallis joined a band called Big Drill Car. Bell joined some upstart power-pop band.
