Theory Of Everything – Bios – Steel Pole Bath Tub

Their contribution: Carbon

Hardcore/noise trio out of Bozeman, MT that was formed in 1987.

Bay Area threesome (two of whom originally hail from Bozeman, Montana) Steel Pole Bath Tub put a happy face (well, sorta) on industrial-strength grind rock, leavening its pitbull riffs with jaggedly humorous short stories that couldn’t be further from established noise-boy motifs. On the surface of its sound, Steel Pole Bath Tub isn’t all that different from a thousand other post-Big Black combos, but a plunge below the clamorous veneer reveals a clever ear for a twisted sample — not to mention a peculiarly pop-savvy way with a guitar hook.
Trouser Press

Members of SPBT (Mike Morasky, Dale Flattum and Daren Morr-X) had numerous side projects including Tumor Circus, Milk Cult and C.C. Nova.
