[edit] Band Biography

The whole affair began back in 1986, when then-teacher Robert Pollard decided to abandon any hopes for bettering this nation's children in order to pursue a career in indie rock. He gathered a few drinking buddies, and formed a band. Over the next 18 years, they dashed off 17 records as GBV and innumerable others under various different names. While they never quite achieved the RAWK greatness that they deserved, they managed to come VERY close on more than one occasion (Bee Thousand, "Teenage FBI", "Chasing Heather Crazy", "Everybody Thinks I'm A Raincloud (When I'm Not Looking)" and numerous other examples). Then, the unthinkable happened. In 2004, Bob decided to drop this moniker, and start a solo career...in case none of us realized that that was what he'd been doing almost since the beginning. There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth, of course, but when any bored 16 year old takes a listen to "Game Of Pricks" or "Bulldog Skin", chances are good that they will start to believe in magic.
