Chad Hamlin: Creator of LooNurGooSe and founder of Fur Roach Music, Chad is known for spewing his madness into the Universe through his unique style of musical production and song writing. He thrives as a producer, composer, slapper of bass guitars, tickler of synthesizers, beat production guru, sequencing brainiac, and sound engineer. He also has a very peculiar vocal style, and almost always puts an extremely bizarre twist into his lyrics. Chad started his musical career as a bass player, and found himself influenced by bands like Primus and Tool, which helped him shape his early musical style. These days, he makes LooNurGooSe music to give himself something new to listen to, but he still loves anything Les Claypool creates and He’s very fond of anything by the band Puscifer.
Erik Libbert: When he joined the project, in 2017, Erik brought a dark edge to the madness that is LooNurGooSe. Though Erik started playing guitar in the Thrash Metal heyday of the late 1980’s, his musical tastes gradually started to mellow. These days he listens to Korean Pop Music exclusively. His favorites include: 2NE1, 4Minute, Miss A, BoA, and HyunA. Besides co-writing and co-producing, Erik brings to the table his dark mastery of the guitar, his lyrical genius, and his ability to summon the voices of the dead using the Ouija Board tattooed on his chest.
Both Chad and Erik are currently serving time, incarcerated at the Oregon State Penitentiary for crimes against humanity.
Special guests that have contributed over the years:
Bobby Beausoleil, Kenneth Fisher, Dan Musgrove, Aaron Kraft, and Jeremy Metelak.
History:
LooNurGooSe was started as a side project to explore experimental musical concepts and exotic production techniques. The first release, titled “Code Name JabberWocky,” was a collection of demo instrumentals released in 2014. In 2015, the instrumental “War For The Throne” was released. It was the first fully produced LooNurGooSe studio album.
Over the next two years, the project was in a state of continuous metamorphosis, due to collaborative contributions from guest artists, such as Bobby Beausoleil, Dan Musgrove, and Aaron Kraft. Releases from this era include 2016’s “KadyWompus,” the first vocal album, followed by a string of singles.
The new evolution of LooNurGooSe has been shaped by the partnership of Chad and Erik, which began in 2017. Together they have produced the band’s most twisted releases, including: “What Does The Frog Mean?” “Waves of Three,” “Z.I.L.F.” “The Devil Wears 12,” “When The Angels Fell,” “Still Alive… In My Dreams,” and “Witch Hunt,” with plenty more to come. Their well of madness is far from dry.
