You Make Me Thick - Music

SNFU Is One Of The Longest Running Most Popular Canadian Punk Acts Formed In Edmonton Alberta In 1981. The Band Packed It In 2005 Not Long After The Release Of In The Mean Time And In-Between Time. Marc "Muc" Belke Went Back To School And The Other Band Members Went Their Own Ways Rather Than Try To Replace Him. That Is Until 2007 When Ken "Mr. Chi Pig" Chinn Appeared On Stage Again Fronting A Band He Was Calling "asSNFU" For A Small Number Of Shows To Celebrate The Band's Long History. Allegedly An Acronym For Society's No Fucking Use SNFU Initially Comprised Chi Pig The Belkes Bassist Warren Bidlock And Drummer Evan "Tadpole" Jones. However Over The Next Decade The Group's Rhythm Section Changed From Album To Album And Tour To Tour. As You Can See From The List To The Left There Are Currently 17 People On The SNFU Roster That Have Played At One Time Or An Other With The Band. SNFU's First Two Releases 1985's ...And No One Else Wanted To Play And If You Swear You'll Catch No Fish Were Straight- Ahead Skate Punk Albums With Strongly Political Lyrics Released On BYO Records. For 1988's Better Than A Stick In The Eye The Quintet Moved To The Larger Indie Label Cargo Records For Whom They Also Recorded 1992's Mostly Live The Last Of The Big Time Suspenders Intended To Be Their Final Album. Just As SNFU Appeared To Be Finished Epitaph Records -- The Most Commercially Successful U.S. Independent Label Of The 1990s -- Offered Them A Record Contract. Along With New Bassist Rob Johnson And Drummer Dave Rees Chi Pig And The Belkes Returned With 1993's Something Green And Leafy This Way Comes Which Not Surprising Had A More Typical West Coast/Epitaph Sound. Following The Release Of 1995's The One Voted Most Likely To Succeed The Group Returned With 1996's FYULABA Produced By Dave Ogilvie Of Skinny Puppy Their First Album Not To Have A Seven Word Title Though It Does Have A Seven Letter Title . In 1997 Brent Belke And David Rees Left The Group SNFU Decided To Continue On As A Four-Piece With New Drummer Sean Stubbs Recording The Canada-Only Live Release Let's Get It Right The First Time. In 2000 SNFU Released A 5 Song EP On Alternative Tentacles Titled The Ping Pong EP. Currently Sept. 2004 SNFU Has Recorded Their 8th Full-Length Album In The Meantime And In Between Time. This Future Release Is Set To Be Released On Their Own Record Label Rake Records. On July 16th 2020 Ken Chinn Pasted Away At The Age Of 57. Past SNFU Lineups SNFU Mach 1 Mr. Chi Pig - Vocals
