TRIVIA:
Halo Of Flies was a 1986-1991 Minneapolis trio comprised for most of its career by guitarist/vocalist/AmRep Records founder Tom 'Haze' Hazelmyer, bassist/vocalist/AmRep Records producer Tim 'Mac' McLaughlin, and drummer John 'Presumably Ang, Though I've Never Heard Him Referred To As Such' Anglim. Their finest work mixed hoarse shouted vocals, trebly yet innovative guitar abuse, and insanely busy, roll-happy and creative drumming (like Keith Moon on Speed Drugs!). Unfortunately, it took them a couple years to reach their peak, and then they got bored and broke up like eight times in a row. However, a decade and a half later, Haze XXL 'Tom' Tomelmyer and John 'Ang Lee' Anglim found themselves playing some music with Dillinger Four's Paddy Costello and sh-bing! The newly reformatted H*O*F came into being, as angry as always but now strangely artsy too.
