Sounds Like
The 'HO is a bunch of influences rolled into one. If Can, The Byrds and the Pop O Pies got into a street fight with the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, The Mothers of Invention, Sun Ra's Arkestra and Mission of Burma with PIL, David Allen's Gong and Gwar all cheering from the sidelines. How's that for ya! Seriously, a lot of sound for one guy, blistering, stinging guitar and bass layered over complex improvised loops, with industrial segues, monologues, rants and stories between bittersweet songs of many genres and styles. A blend of Rock, Punk, Jazz, Spoken Word, along with improv and soundscapes. Blend the raw humor of Lenny Bruce and Gwar, the social/political commentary of the Fugs and Gil Scot Heron, the punk bite of the Pop O Pies, mixed with the abstract Jazz of (Cleveland's Own) Albert Ayler and the experimentation of Can and Faust and you should get where THE 'HO is coming from!
IGUANADONHO is the brainchild of Marky Ray " The Zenmaster" (Ex-Jim Rose Circus Sideshow, The Lyres, Death of Samantha, the terrible parade, The New Salem Witch Hunters, Death On A Stick and many others.) His full resume reads like a Rock and Roll Wet Dream, more later, read on... IGUANADONHO was formed in 2006 as a outlet for some of his more bizarre and eccentric recordings IGUANADONHO has now become the live act. Imagine if you took the influences of the minutemen, Mission of Burma and Frank Zappa and threw them in a blender with Sun Ra, the Fugs, Gil Scott Heron, Can and Love, and you are starting to get an idea of what IGUANADONHO would sound like live. Often described as a "Crazy Ass Freak" IGUANADONHO is at all times, Intense, Driving, Manic, wide ranging, unique, eccentric, funny, even edifiying!! IGUANADONHO is a "one man band" or more accurately a "one band man" for all the ages. A solo show of blistering guitar and rubbery bass played over-top of improvised loops. IGUANADONHO's set reads like a history lesson with classic original songs that mesh different styles of Rock, Jazz, Hardcore, Punk, Industrial and improvisation. Throw in some spoken word and a bit of rock history, mixed with obscure classic covers, such as "I couldn't get high" by the Fugs or "Whitey on the Moon" by Gil Scott Heron, and you see that this is not your ordinary "band" or "solo" project. For almost 30 years of non stop work Marky Ray has graced the stages the world over as a musician, perfomer and entertainer. Known as the "Original Rock and Roll Mercenary", along with the aformentioned bands he was a member of... Marky Ray has toured/played guitar, bass, vocals, etc. /performed on stage with nine inch nails, the Butthole Surfers, Ministry, toadies, Die Warzau (along with many other national and local acts).

Before I got dressed today, I punched myself dutifully in the stomach; a tried and true method to soften the bristles, and then I looked in the mirror and said "GO!!!" Perhaps due to my advancing age, this time though I doubled over fetal-style clutching the disposable razor. Worse, Mother was watching, standing by the bathroom doorway. She said, "Don't cry. Whatever you do, Heller, don't cry. "
The family upstairs from me flung pretzels out the window contemptuously as they cheered. Many pretzels blew directly into my apartment, which I gathered to eat.
The waitress told me that the spaghetti supply was running out, but there were in fact loose sticks under my table. Given a cursory glance this looked promising but after closer inspection I am not so sure. The spaghetti was soiled and mixed with glass from broken bottles. I do not want ANY glass in my spaghetti. It could well be contaminated, so I left the pasta on the floor and decided to say nothing rather than to call attention to it.

She says in touching they are as light as a feather. Abagail also said'if she had known her husband was taking pictures she would have put on makeup.

The school nurse visited our 5th grade class. We saw a film about the Girl Scouts, and I remember how it inspired a few foul-mouthed conversations among my fellow classmates. The movie, put out by the Kimberly-Clark corporation, taught you the "secret handshake" and it was crammed with cut-outs of film stars from that period. There is no secret handshake anymore -- how one person initialized contact with another person he had never met before. Again, this dates me. Nowadays what they're using is a fancy schmantzy "predetermined phrase."
