The Dinner Is Ruined Band

The Canadian noise rock/experimental band the Dinner Is Ruined came out with a experimental sound that was based in blues tradition, classic rock, and an obsession with death and lust. They were formed in 1991 by Dale Morningstar, Dave "Stovepipe" Clark, and Dr. Pee; their independent cassette, Burn Your Dashiki, was released that same year. In 1993, Raw Energy issued the band's first CD, Love Songs from the Lubritorium. In 1994, their Worm Pickers Brawl was released, and Ice Cream, Drugs, Rubber Goods was issued in 1996. By 1997, the group had signed to Sonic Unyon, who issued Elevator Music for Non-Claustrophobic People in 1997 and A Maggot in Their Heads in 1999. Ray Charles Kinda Party followed in early 2001.
