==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
Carnival Art | Carnival Art was originally formed in [[1989]] by [[Michael P. Tak]], Shane Paul Rhody, [[Ed Dobrydnio]], and [[Keith Fallis]]. Shortly after the group's first release, ''[[Like Nobody's Business]]'' in [[1989]], Rhody would depart from the band. Dobrydnio would take over Rhody's position on guitar and Brian Bell would join the band as a bassist. This line-up would go on to release two more albums, as well as three additional EPs. | ||
The ''[[Dig]]'' EP was released in [[1990]] and was the band's first release with the new line-up. It was the introduction of one of the band's most notable songs, "[[Mr. Blue Veins]]", which would later appear on the band's next two releases: the ''[[Blue Food & Black Sparks]]'' EP and ''[[Thrumdrone]]''—the band's second album—both in [[1991]]. "[[Mr. Blue Veins]]" was pushed as the lead single of ''[[Thrumdrone]]'' and was featured in an episode of ''Beavis and Butt-Head'' a year after the band had broken up. | |||
Despite signing to Situation Two (a sub-label of Beggars Banquet) and later Beggars Banquet itself, Carnival Art would receive minimal radio play and poor record sales. They would be dropped by the label after the release of their third and final album, ''[[Welcome to Vas Llegas]]''. Following the band's final contribution—a cover of Alice Cooper's "[[Cold Ethyl]]" for the ''[[Welcome to Our Nightmare: A Tribute to Alice Cooper]]'' compilation—they would officially disband in [[1993]]. | |||
Bell would first meet the members of [[Weezer]] in December of [[1992]]<ref>[[Recording History - Page 3|Weezer Recording History - Page 3]]</ref>, and after a short stint with a band he formed under the name [[Jerkwater]], he would officially join [[Weezer]] in September of [[1993]].<ref>[[Historic event: 07/16/1993]]</ref> Michael P. Tak would release a solo album in [[1994]], while Dobrydnio and Fallis would later form [[Shufflepuck]]. | |||
