History


Origin and early days (1988–1995)

The Bloodhound Gang's origin dates back to 1988, when rappers James "Jimmy Pop" Franks and Michael "Daddy Long Legs" Bowe formed the band Bang Chamber 8 with their Perkiomen Valley High School classmates Kevin Hennessey and Justin Ianelli. They released an eponymous tape in 1990 before Hennessey and Ianelli left the band, which was renamed to the Bloodhound Gang in 1992. The band's new name came from a segment on the 1980s

In April 1994, the band released their second demo tape, '' The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack to Hitler's Handicapped Helpers''. This resulted in a record deal with Cheese Factory Records. That summer, Pop had a small role in Kurt Fitzpatrick's short film ''The Chick That Was Naked'' (1995) and managed to get a Bloodhound Gang song on the soundtrack. In November, the Bloodhound Gang released their first EP, '' Dingleberry Haze''.

When the tour ended, the deal with Columbia was dropped and band members Scott "Skip O'Pot2Mus" Richard and Tard-E-Tard left to pursue non-music careers.

On October 4, 1999, the band released its third album '' Hooray for Boobies'' in Europe; due to legal issues, the U.S. release was delayed until February 29, 2000. This album was recorded in California, where the band and their engineer Gavalis relocated. The album was recorded partially at a Los Angeles studio the band rented, and partially at Gavalis' home in the Valley. Powered by the hit single " The Bad Touch", they embarked on two more tours of Europe, where their popularity had increased dramatically; "The Bad Touch" and ''Hooray for Boobies'' reached No. 1 in Germany, where the band's cover of "

''Hard-Off'' and future (2008–present)

In October 2008, Thunder quit the band. The band said he had decided to never again tour with them.

Carter was confirmed as the band's new lead guitarist. Pop announced during a radio interview in Boston that the band was working on a new album, featuring around 10 to 12 songs. Many media outlets reported that the name of the album would be ''Getting Laid on a School Bus'' with a release date of 2012. On December 4, 2011, Pop announced that he "just narrowed 25-30 demos down to 10-12 to finish". In late 2010, the band released a new song, " Altogether Ooky". On November 15, DJ Q-Ball mentioned on his Facebook page that the band was going to Berlin to shoot a music video for the song, which would also be included on a greatest hits compilation album. The greatest hits album, '' Show Us Your Hits'', was released on December 21, featuring new songs "Altogether Ooky" and an English version of
