Motherhead BugMotherhead Bug was a rock music group founded in the early 1990's in New York City by singer and trombone player David Ouimet. Ouimet had earlier played and recorded with industrial rockers Cop Shoot Cop, but Motherhead Bug was something else entirely. The group was rather large, featuring three drummers, as well as string and horn sections, with accordions, xylophones and other unusual instruments featured prominently. Tom Waits' post-Swordfishtrombone music is probably the nearest touchstone, due to the unusual instrumentation and Ouimet's gravelly voice, but much of Motherhead Bug's music had a sense of menace rarely achieved in Waits' work. Motherhead Bug released a few singles and one full-length album, 1993's Zambodia. One critic described the album thusly: "The instrumentation and Ouimet's theatrical vocals lend a decadent grandeur to Weill-esque numbers like 'Demon Erection' and 'My Sweet Milstar.' It may be burlesque, but it's still pretty scary stuff." http://www.trouserpress.com/entry.php?a=cop_shoot_cop
