Artist Biography

by Mike DaRonco

Heavily inspired by The Ramones and The Descendants, The Connie Dungs wanted to bring out their own brand of "obnoxiously happy" pop-punk to their suburban hood known as Ashland, KY. Consisting of Brandon Dungs (vocals), Wayne Sphincter (bass), Chris Colostomy (drums) and Robbie Rectum (guitarist) immediately pumped out the releases not too long after their formation in early 1995. After two demos, a split with Tugboat and an EP on Harmless Records entitled "Missy and Johnny," Mutant Pop Recordings hooked them up to release 1996's "I Hate This Town" followed by the "No Chance" EP a year later. After three more split releases with Slow Poles, Operation: Cliff Calvin and The Automatics, The Connie Dungs first full-length "Driving on Neptune" finally arrived on Mutant Pop in 1998. The following year after the boot of guitarist Robbie Rectum, Dave Berger (formely of Spodie) took over the axe man duties and without even allowing a creative breather, their follow up album "Earthbound for the Holiday" came out the year after.
