Bio
.. .. .. .. End Code To Apply Top Banner.. It wasn't the commercial allure of the music industry that killed Job's DeSoto. It was the doing of a chain of convenience stores called "Square Deal." In late 1993, Square Deal raised the price of a 12-pack of Burgie beer from $3.69 to $4.19. As a result, the world witnessed the dissolution of one of it's most promising bands. Times were tough. The band left only one recording after its short one-year career: a monumental opus titled "Going Places With Job's Desoto." The vinyl-only release sold nearly a score of copies worldwide, and its effects on modern music can still be felt today. In original songs like "I'm Taken Aback," "Termite Head," and the instrumental "That One in E," the foursome rewrote the future of rock history. Copies of the original LP release are highly valued by collectors and have been known to draw as much as $4 at trade shows... .. .. .. ...... Layout by ..CoolChaser..

Members
James Bucky Hollinger I.. bass .. Dan Tomassini.. drums .. Joe Martin.. lead guitar and aluminum can .. Charles Mohnike.. vocals and guitar
Influences
The band based its highly intellectual approach to arrangements on the influences found in the following three albums, what has become known as the Holy Trinity of Rock & Roll: .. .... The Stooges.. Funhouse .. Possibly one of the most deeply intellectual LPs of all time, this record probes the inner psyche of modern living, with lyrical references to Joyce, Keats, and even the poet Walt Whitman on the cut "TV Eye." Musical quotes abound, with snippets of Bach, Mahler and Strauss popping up here and there in the mix. .. .... The Cramps.. Gravest Hits .. Never before had one group attempted to include so much of philsophical history and social commentary in a single work: The release of this album spawned many a doctoral thesis, and its songs became a popular topic of discussion at late-night study sessions. .. .... The Velvet Underground.. The Velvet Underground .. A wholesome, instructive exploration of the cosmic Om. This concept record discusses troubled youth, the dynamics of relationships, the drug problem in our inner cities, and the necessity of a proper diet.
