BOB SCHNEIDER
Bob Schneider was born in Ypsilanti, Michigan, and raised in Munich, Germany. Not that it should matter, since Bob will never ask where you were born and doesn't care. He only wants you to dig his music and rock your ass off at his shows. And the odds are very much in his favor that you will do both.
Left-handed as a child, Bob was quickly reformed by the enlightened nuns at the Catholic school he attended in Munich, and with his right hand he has gone on to pen several hundred songs (his first was called "Pussy Fever") and to create stunning artworks
laden with tortured imagery of phalluses and feces. So the nuns spent their time well.
Performing since he was a tot, generally for the amusement of his parents and their friends, Bob gained his first real professional experience while backing
his musician father on drums at numerous moonlighting gigs throughout Germany. Thus a lifelong career was born, with Bob eventually stepping into his father's frontman shoes. His first performance as a lead singer, using the questionable handle of Bobby Blues
and the Basstones, occurred at the University of Maryland at Munich, after which Bob knew what he wanted to do--leave talent shows behind. A gifted visual artist, he moved to El Paso, Texas, to study art at UTEP and soon discovered a second thing he wanted to do--leave universities behind.
And so, Bob moved to Austin to pursue the dream. There were the obligatory clockwatching stints and time spent on friends' couches in the beginning, but soon he had put together his first band--the Spanks--which led to other bands--most notably Brainiac--and later the successful funk-rock group Joe Rockhead, which put out three independent albums from 1991 to 1993 and played to packed houses every week. With Joe Rockhead, Bob established his reputation as a frenetic and engaging lead singer, performing with a wild abandon, aggression and lack of pretension on stage, which he will be the first to admit is pretty much the opposite of his offstage self.
