Biography
THROAT OYSTER started as a joke in 1996, when all 4 members were in 6th grade. One thing they've become known for is their constantly changing lineup (Foffle actually became the only original member before the band has even played their first show in 1997!) They released their first live demo, "Live in Campbell, CA." on the now defunct Crackhouse Entertainment in July '99. December '99, the "Evolution is a Whore" ep came out. At the very end of 2001, they released the 1st full length "How to be a Winner" and then re-released it in 2003 on Miscellaneous Productions (that's the version most of you have) with an extra track. The band continued to play under not-the-best circumstances for years, but due to the amount of fuck-ups this band has suffered from, EVERY tour booked between 2001 and 2006 was cancelled. By summer 2005, the most successful incarnation of THROAT OYSTER decided they'd rather kill each other than play together anymore, so they said "Fuck this" for a while, but as of May 2006, the band decided to do a mini-tour of California to celebrate their decade of existence. The band decided to take things more seriously from that point on. In Late 2007, the band switched lineups once again and are now ready to take on the world once again. In the first part of 2008, the band will release "Double Penetration- 2 EPs IN one CD" featuring the newly recorded, "Pissed as Fuck" EP along with the long-awaited "Car Accidents, Terrorist Attacks, Rape Threats and Nuclear Holocausts" EP from 2003. The tracks will be available on itunes, snocap and of course myspace long before the CD will come out. The band has plans to tour the country this year and there's also talk of a split 10" album with 3 other bands coming out on Bitchslap Records later this year. Stay tuned.
