The Disciples, born in Pittsburgh, have had the music in their souls
all their lives. They have been puttin' out tasty grooves ever since their days
at Schiller Classical Academy on the North Side of the big city. Starting
out with a bass and guitar, they tamed their instruments quickly, and were
able to start busting out jams of immense size by the beginning of 7th grade.
At this time, they were deemed "The Shaft & Barry White Fan Club," with such
hits as: "Jackson 5 Living in a Car," "Bitch Card," "Bad Juju Fruit" and many
more! As they matured musically they later got into drugs and Hare Krishna,
and expiremented with such extravagent mediums as sampling, syntehsizers, and
drum machines. Just before they changed to the Disciples, they released a
ground-breaking album, "Batman and Robin Use Safe Prophylactics." It contained
re-recorded versions of the previously unreleased hits written back in those early days: "Fu Chu Man," "The Paul Song," "Monkies Ain't Crass," and "Rudebegas."
With the new name of the Disciples also came the use of real percussion. They
released two re-defining EPs entitled "Pimento Loaf Christmas" and "We Kick
Ass." They include the hits: "Jack in the Box," "Theme Park," "Acid Jazz," "We Kick Ass," "Chemistry
101," "Fat Woman on a Bike," and "Hot Summer Day." With the advent of the new
year, so comes the advent of the Disciples' first double-tape set, "20 Years
of the Disciples." It showcases their many hits that have become synonymous
with the name "Disciples," with over 50 songs gracing the ears of not only members
of the hallowed Song-of-the-Week Club, but anyone who will take the responsibility
of giving them a listen! SO BUY BUY BUY!!!!
