Kasrvnotebook: King Missile, the alternative rock darlings of the collegiate circuit, seemed to have not only actively pursued and courted fans of college music and the alternative scene, but they managed to build and sustain their entire career on left-of-center lyricism and quirky oddball pop tunes. The band formed in 1986 when wacky lyricist John S. Hall met and befriended Dogbowl, who had formerly been a member of the Schizocrats. After his father died in 1986, Hall received a $10,000 inheritance that he was determined to squander on recording some of his and Dogbowl's musical forays and the equipment associated with it. Hall and Dogbowl hooked up with drummer Steve Danziger and decided to call themselves King Missile (Dog Fly Religion). The latter part of the band's name was an invention of Dogbowl. King Missile then proceeded to work out a production and recording deal with the venerated alternative independent music producer Kramer. Kramer had just set up his new label Shimmy Disc and King Missile (Dog Fly Religion) were one of the first bands to record for his new label. King Missile's debut album, Fluting on the Hump, was released in 1987. Fluting on the Hump was followed the next year by King Missile's second album, They. Dogbowl left left the band to pursue a solo career and to concentrate on other projects, after the release of They. After he left, Hall decided to drop the (Dog Fly Religion) part of the name since it was an invention of Dogbowl. By 1989, Danziger too had left, leaving Hall all by himself and forced with the unenviable task of searching for new members to fill out the line up for the second version of King Missile. for more info: http://www.musicianguide.com/biograph... About the rest of the episode: Host Ed Stone and his lost boys: AC, the Beardless Man on the ST, Karl Saygun and Tod "bones" Mc Coy encounter the bizzare and wild citizens of Tempe's Mill Avenue!!! KASR VIDEO was a weekly 2 hour offshoot of the Arizona State University's original alternative radio station that aired on public access in Phoenix. The music video show featured rarely scene and new music not in the "main stream." Along with non-conventional interviews it became a guilty pleasure with the midnight party crowd. This is a condensed version with the music videos edited out. For more info on ASU Student radio goto: http://www.theblaze1260.com
