Listening to a Sheep Fiends album or participating in a Sheep Fiends jam (for the low low price of a small corner of your sanity) is akin to meeting Jimi Hendrix, Arlo Guthrie, Sun Ra and Ringo Starr in an airport lounge, getting them drunk on cheap gin, handing them all the wrong instruments and asking them to play the Sgt. Pepper's album for you.

It is what it is when it is and it is what it was until digital editing makes it is what the was is now.

The Sheep Fiends music is often hilarious and occasionally spiritual. another way of putting it is that it's like being in a band, but without sleeping in a van, without rehearsing the same song over and over, without having your instruments stolen and without groupies, leaving only the simple experiences of playing music with friends and putting out albums.

The musical and unmusical, the good and bad, each has its mike and amp channel. I mix, but know not what. All Sheepfiends and friends are free to say "that rocks," "that sucks," and so on, but I alone know not what I am doing to have full confidence of having done it right, once the final cooked tape has been selected, properly edited and altered from the raw.

Tape rolling? Youbetcha.

The Sheep Fiends will go down in the annals of rock history as the longest lasting most pervasive, prolific band that no one has ever heard of.
-- Brian McNally
The group is very open and welcomes new people and new ideas. Sometimes this makes for the most wonderful happy accidents, oftentimes a sort of low, gurgling rumble, somewhere between bad hangover and good orgasm.

I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to make so much music with this bunch. The Sheep Fiends play an improvisational and extemporaneous mix. Everybody plays by ear and even the lyrics are spur-of-the-moment inspirations. The Sheep Fiends, like Jackson Pollock or Neil Cassidy, bring a sense of the transient and spontaneous subconscious into a modern form of the age-old-art of music.
