Biography

The band released their first album, ''Spot the Psycho'', in 1999. The band didn't release anything else until 2001, when they released their second album, ''Cemetery Pinch'', and third album, ''How Now Brown Cow'', simultaneously. All three albums were self-released and sold via Moseley's website. In 2004 the Cornbugs released their fourth album called ''Brain Circus''. This album was released on the label of their new keyboardist Travis Dickerson, TDRS Music. Later that same year they released their fifth and final studio album of new material called ''Donkey Town''. In 2005 and 2006, TDRS Music compiled most of Cornbugs' early self-released material and remastered it, releasing it on the albums ''Rest Home for Robots'', ''Skeleton Farm'' and ''Celebrity Psychos''. The band announced their split in 2007 after two DVDs, ''Quackers!'' and ''Headcheese'' were made available. The band contributed three songs on the tattoo instructional DVD, "Dead Man's Ruin - Advanced Tattoo Techniques" by Derek Dufresne, a very sought-after tattoo artist from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
