This second entry into The Wes Dodson Timeline recounts the crossing of paths with bassist, William Gernand, and vocalist, Richard Lee Baker (both natives of Alvin, Texas) in late 1991. Aided by a mini-keg of Reichelbräu, the trio consummated their friendship over the New Years 1992 holiday, recording a pair of originals, Morning Cherub and Pans Arpeggio, on January 3rd. Inspired, the three plodded forth with the recording of Psychedelia (January 12th), Solemn Artimus (January 24th), in addit...
Wes Dodson - vocal, guitar; Bob Harrell - bass, vocal; Scott Fontenot - drums The tour started once, while eating an average, elegant, everyday, so so feast of (portabellos), well, that's what we call'm. In the key of A, laid back in Floppy's chair, I somehow lost sight of the next three years. Now, you are here to witness the story, or the lie, of which either could be true. Bob Harrell (September 2008)

Cheesy Drip was a short lived cock rock celebration that elevated founding members Wes Dodson and Pat Johnson to a brief and ridiculous neighborhood celebrity s The first legitimate Wes Dodson studio effort was drafted as something of a counter argument in loathsome reply to the ever redundant, mundane nuances found in almost every local demo that he graced with a listening ear. Shitty drum mixes had to go! Eight minute long, epic, slow building power ballads in the key of A minor had to go!

Short lived was the 1999 after-ratbastard-celebration known as RJ2K (REVEREND JIM 2000). Short and sweet. No solos. Groomed songwriting and dismal lyrics provide a glimpse into what ratbastard may have likely evolved into, if it hadn't been shot in the head and left on the side of the road for the buzzards to snack on the year prior. Shengar and Wes team up here again, in an effort that would be near seamless, joined by newbie stickman James Edward Jamison. This rarity was one of many recorded
