biography
The slightly bent guitar rock of L.A.'s Carnival Art took its
lessons from the demented Pixies. Consisting of Michael P. Tak (vocals,
guitar), Ed (guitar, vocals), Brian Bell (bass, vocals), and Keith
Fallis (drums), Carnival Art released their debut LP, Thrumdrone, in
1991. Signed to Beggars Banquet, Carnival Art weren't heavy metal enough
to jump on the grunge bandwagon in the early ‘90s, and they were too
weird to for pop audiences; caught in limbo, the band recorded two
albums of off-kilter alternative music that were ignored and then faded
into obscurity. Carnival Art broke up soon after their second
full-length, Welcome to Vas Llegas, and a subsequent EP, Blue Food and
Black Sparks. A cover of "Cold Ethyl" appeared on an Alice Cooper
tribute CD a year later, but Bell had already formed his own group, the
Spacetwins, by then; he later joined Weezer. In 1994, Tak recorded
Pretty Little Lonely as Michael Petak.
