Bobby Joe Ebola and the Children MacNuggits (also known as Bobby Joe Ebola) are an American acoustic folk-rock duo from Pinole, California. Formed in 1995, the traditional incarnation of the band consists of vocalist Corbett Redford III and guitarist/vocalist Dan Abbott. The duo is often joined onstage and in the studio by numerous musicians and friends for full band stage performances and recordings. Early performances featured occasional backup vocals from John Geek, also singer for Fleshies. Both Abbott, Redford and Geek were founding members of the indie label S.P.A.M. Records, and co-organizers of Geekfest, a series of free all-ages music festivals held in the late 1990s,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://foxmeatradio.podbean.com/2012/10/23/dr-foxmeats-radio-show-episode-8/ )〕 begun largely in response to the band's rejection from a then insular East Bay punk scene centered on 924 Gilman. Bobby Joe Ebola is known for its social criticism, using satirical lyrics to touch on controversial subjects, and performances that combine elements of punk rock and standup comedy. The duo employs complex harmonies and aggressive rhythms influenced by folk, pop-punk and rock'n'roll. The band cites as influences comedians Lenny Bruce and George Carlin as well as musical satirist Tom Lehrer and art-rock band They Might Be Giants. Between 1995 and 2000, the band toured the U.S. several times and released two full-length albums, one EP and a split 7" record with Pleasanton, California, band Your Mother,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Bobby+Joe+Ebola+And+The+Children+MacNuggits )〕 before breaking up in 2000.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://bobbyjoeebola.com/?page_id=2 )〕 In 2009, the band reformed, and recorded an album, ''F'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://itunes.apple.com/us/album//id393256620 )〕 and an EP, ''Freaky Baby''〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/freaky-baby-ep/id394438606 )〕 on Silver Sprocket Bicycle Club.
