Biography
Ann Arbor, Michigan
"The Buzzrats, through, are accessible in their high weirdness. They prize melody and harmony and simplicity, but they read it through their own system of icons and signposts in interpreting American music. Simply put, they make music that lies not on the margins, but in the cracks, where all traditions and genres meet in the morass of a well–if loosely constructed–tune." (from a review by Thom Jurek)

"The six Buzzrats are a walking encyclopedia of music, and they all play multiple instruments. Vino Veasley on electric guitar and drums is the resident King Crimson and Pink Floyd art-rock fanatic. Charlie Murphy on drums and percussion is a Deadhead. Nate Higley on the trap kit is a veteran of the punk scene. Rob Crozier plays acoustic and electric bass and harmonica and loves jazz. Phil Tepley, the Rat with the most formal musical training plays guitars and saxophone and is an ardent disciple of Neil Young. Leggett, of course, is a fan of both old-timey fiddle music and weird bands like Big Star." (Brian Lillie Agenda Magazine (Ann Arbor, MI)) http://www.thebuzzrats.com/cartoon_info.html
