The works of Les Visible and the Critical List can be compared in one way or another to that of Frank Zappa, Warren Zevon, The Crashtest Dummies, Lenny Bruce and Lord Buckley. Scathing socio-political commentary and zany off-the-cuff spontaneous rap are the hallmarks of this band. Songwriter and vocalist Les Visible had given his body as a chemical test laboratory during this time to assist in valuable research of the effect of mulitiple mind altering chemicals upon the human psyche. We all owe him a debt of gratitude.

These albums would not have seen the light of day without the valuable contributions of my co-creators Franklin Russell and Bud 'the birdman' Clifton. Others had a marked imprint upon these efforts and their names are listed below. If you feel you have been left off of this list please get in touch with me so that I can correct the oversight.

Why this name?
Contrary to strict guidelines, band members were not wearing their tinfoil hats prior to a big gig at a Young Republicans recruiting banquet in Fresno, CA. and the names were surgically implanted during a BIOS flash.
Do you play live?
We play live in the minds of our survivors everywhere. Do we like it? Uh...uh...uh.... Special moments? hmmmm- I don't think you want to know and I am certainly not going to tell you.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Nothing will change the music industry, they are a pack of low-to-the-ground blood-sucking weasels with no taste and a tendency to suck eggs in vitro;...when they are not sacrificing small children to the devil...but- it does provide us a way around them (for the moment)
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
ahahahahahahahaahahaha!!! Clive, is that you? "Hang on David, I've got Clive Davis on the other line. Hi Clive, I was just talking with Geffen about my Life of Merv Griffin rock opera." yadayadayada....
Band History:
4 albums, mostly written in the few days prior to each recording. The main personnel were, Visible, Franklin Russell, MiddleJohn, Michael Madden and Bud 'the birdman' Clifton. Two international releases were put together in '92 and released by Sony/CBS and ESP Records through ZYX Records. Brain damaged interferring producers wife, Flavia Stollman took two ancient cassette tapes for the masters and refused to use the DATs with which she was provided, possibly ruining some brilliant careers. Between her and odious judas and government operative Rick Glover (now playing with Beaucoup Blues in Philadelphia), something between a train wreck and stomach cancer synthesized and consumed this fabulous collaboration of temporary free-wheeling ecstasy.
Your influences?
Jack D. Ripper, chimerical visions of sleek teenage girls dancing in a teardrop reflection, Lord Buckley, Steve Martin, the spirit of dead comics and social avengers everywhere.
Favorite spot?
Somewhere that the Flavia Stollmans, Rick Glovers and other vile life negating influences are neutralized...New Zealand- Dunedain and Otago Forest principally, Costa Rica, small Italian towns...inside my walled garden.
Equipment used:
whatever is available.
Anything else...?
word to the wise...watch who you hang out with, watch who you trust, watch period. Everybody is not like you and they hide it well. Don't drink and drive, pull over, drink, then drive. Go to
Songwriter and see what Les Visible is doing now...it's not lame but it sure is tame. But just so you know we're keeping our hand in the 'feels like mink I think' below jeans level comfort zone you can check out 9/11 was an Inside Job. If any semi-retired drug dealers or scam artists on a retroactive guilt trip have the bucks and the drive to get The Critical List happening again; there are several major albums in a holding pattern overhead...>>>just itching to come down.
