For your amusement, we decided to write out the Band Biography as a "Behind the Music," even though most of it isn't true.  So take it all with a grain of salt, .... k?

in the beginning
As children growing up in the slums of Wantagh, New York, Chris Theodorou, Timothy Coombs, and Christopher Wrigley used music to find solace from the harsh realities of the outside world.  As they grew older, the three realized their mutual interest, and dreamt of becoming rock stars.  Blood Lots of Blood was the realization of this very dream... The three enlisted the help of three local metalheads, Toad, Tim From Within, and a guitarist known only as "Barbituate Boy."  The early days were rough, many a cold night the sextet was forced to eat the "losers lunch." (Bologna in hand...)  However, they soon struck it big in the High School talent show circuit, and a legend was born...

However, what seemed like a rocket-ride to stardom was cut short by misery.  Vocalist Tim Coombs' life became a downward spiral, when he found himself addicted to Nyquil(tm.) Coombs' addiction tore the band apart, and eventually, tearfully, they had to let him go.  Without Coombs, Blood Lots of Blood lost direction.  A series of replacements were auditioned, but no one could take Coombs' place.  Drummer Chris Wrigley fell into a deep depression, and began to turn to male prostitutes to ease his pain.  However, Chris Theo would not be stopped, and he finally struck gold when he enlisted "Sludgecore Mike" as the new singer.  This was the summer of '98, and in reality, it was the summer of sludge.  Mike was what the band had needed to bring them back togethor, and he signed on full-time.  This ushered in a new era of sludge, and began a period in which some of their most famous songs were penned.  However, just as BLOB was regaining their old form, tragedy stuck again... Toad and "Barbituate Boy" were gunned down in a gang-war over "turf," and again the BLOB boys were left with a hole in their band ... and their hearts.  It wasn't until much later that Rich (whom the boys new from Carvel) filled both of these gaps, and became the new bassist.

This next period was one of the most prolific in BLOB history.  They played countless shows all across Nassau County.  However, after constant touring, Wrigley decided his heart just wasn't in it anymore.  He left the band, to pursue other options, including the part of Angel in Rent.  After a suitable period of mourning, Theo signed on Post No Bill to replace Wrigley, and Eric the Goth as a second guitarist.  Everything was going well, until that fateful day in the recording studio.  Sludgecore Mike stepped on Tim's foot, Tim called his sister a whore, and then Mike flashed his nine.  It was an emotional experience, and one which forced  Tim to quit the band. (Although they claimed the split was amicable.)  None-the-less, Hugo was signed on to replace Tim From Within, and thus the current incarnation of BLOB was born.
