   The Food: General Info
Member Since6/30/2006
Band WebsiteWhat? I thought this was a legitimate website...
Band MembersAll of the original members quit years ago, but due to licensing issues the band now consists of session players and the guitar player's ex-girlfriend that performed on previously unreleased albums. Trust me, it gets pretty close to replicating The Food's wholly original sound when performed live. We regret that we are unable to release ther current lineup's actual names at this time pending resolution of certain legal issues stemming from illicit overseas bootlegs. Signed non-disclosure agreements are required before viewing any live performances during this unfortunate period of intellectual property rights disputation. We apologize for the inconvenience. The Management.
InfluencesThe Sword of Ultimate Power! and beef jerky.
Sounds LikeShit, if you ask me.
Record LabelUnder negotiations...very hush hush.

   About The Food
We make sounds using pre-state of the art equipment and have fun doing it. If/When you don't like listening to it we still feel fine and won't begrudge your taste. We'll just feel a little sorry for you and think you should lighten up and start under-intellectualizing things so much so you could have a shot at enjoying yourself for once. If we were making money doing this shit we'd buy you a beer or a refreshing non-alcoholic sprtizer if you'd prefer. We're nice guys for the most part...or so I am told. But that sounds pretty boring, so instead I'll mention that we're Satanists who feed on raw bird meat whilst chanting Gregorian dirges backwards. At this point you can probably tell that my emotional investment in this "Band Details" blurb is rather low, but as you probably already know, written descriptions of how a band sounds is pretty much useless compared to hearing a song or two. So give a listen to at least a couple tracks and if you still hate it that's fine. It didn't cost you anything and nobody lost an eye...yet. The Management.

I aint got no big name,
and I aint no big star.
But, i'll play the blues for you,
on my guitar.
And all your lonliness,
I have got to sooth.
I'll play the blues for you.
