Pump'n Ethyl, originally known as Ethyl Merman, was formed in 1993 by Turner Scott Van Blarcum and Hendrix Burns Tolliver III. In 1997, prior to their first CD release, they were forced to change their name, by the Estate of Ethyl Merman, to avoid the usual legal attack made by a surge of greedy lawyers and parasites related to the fantastic Ms. Merman. It is known that Ms. Merman was a fan of the band via Psychic Friends Network. After the mysterious abduction of the original bassist and drummer, the aliens surgically replaced them with the illegitimate siblings of Bob Dole. A fanatical band on the Texas Music Scene, voted messiest band in 1996 for trashing every venue played, and is on restraining orders from the State of Arkansas for molesting small domesticated farm animals.Pump'n Ethyl has played with great bands such as: Blue Flames, Cheetah Chrome of The Dead Boys, D.O.A, FEAR, I.O.U., Kaos UK, Marky Ramone and the Intruders, M.O.D., The Mullens, The Murders, Napalm Death, Pervis, Riot Squad, R.K.L., Sloppy Seconds, Suicidal Tendencies, Testament, UK Subs, and Zeke.
