The Medicine Show

Totally live and totally authentic -
THE MEDICINE SHOW sound like the hottest, wettest, most nasty swamp
you've ever even heard tell about.
crocs! Snakes that'll crawl right up your leg, and skeeters big enough to
strip the living flesh from a grown
man's arm. A tar paper shack with a boiled ham hanging in a sack, in the
shade of the willow tree.
Fear, aching, love and pain, running from the cops cos you just know
they's gonna put you in jail again. Band Members

Weebl

Weebl, (real name Jonti Picking) owner of www.weebls-stuff.com, is a comedic flash animator/musician. Most of his jokes are completely random, or deal with pie in some way. Weebl created the "Weebl and Bob" series of flash animations, which consist of two egg-like objects, a large one named Weebl, and a smaller one named Bob. They talk incoherently, but this problem is fixed with speech bubbles. They have bad grammar (e.g. "You bringed back pie!").
