Smiling Carcinogens
is folktronica/punktronica (folkpunktronica!) UNschoolhouse rock - catchy, weird, sometimes humorous songs with the occasional hiphop or jungle beat.
We hope there's a little something in our music for everyone.Band/artist history
exists because of musical evolution.
I started working with punk bands (4 Letter Theory, , Walrus Coxs) and alt-rock bands (the Retro Delicatessen).
On the side, I also formed an acoustica/electronica duo (Studly Husband Rubbings) that retained a punk edge or mentality.
That project began turning into a series of other projects, which brings us to this one.Have you performed in front of an audience?We play in New England sometimes - someday other places, we hope. Canada is our goal.

(For a list with some specific influences, see .)What equipment do you use?
We use acoustic guitars, an electric bass, keyboards, assorted percussion and record digitally now.
Eventually we'd like more piano/keys, electric guitars, and other things some people take for granted.
We're also working on getting an electronic drumset.Anything else?
We'd be honored to open for Butthole Surfers, Ween, Mindless Self Indulgence, Adam Green or the Moldy Peaches.
That's probably all we can hope for at this point, even though we have tons of influences.
Basically that's because some of our songs are really weird and/or gross/fucked up like some of those artists' songs are.
