Nobs

Hoping that the Nobs project would finally give him a rest from seeing Jim all the time with their recording act Glen Closer. Joe's hopes were dashed when the band asked him to fill in on drums for the Nobs. Oddly enough his poor sense of tempo is outweighed by his viciously hard hitting style. Not to mention he has REALLY long hair, which fills the rock and roll star position within the Nobs' lineup.

Jim just started showing up at The Nob's rehearsals one day. No one remembers inviting him but no one had the heart to ask him to leave. Jim would often make odd sounds into the microphones that alternated between gagging and howling. Recently he has settled into Joe Cocker like contortions while feigning to play guitar. We usually have his amp turned off.

Like a villain from a 007 movie, he is generally known by just one letter "Z".  This guy twists the Nobs’ knobs to make them sound, well, better than they otherwise would.  Best of all, he’s strong so he can carry lots of equipment – that’s why he has earned the right to be referred to as a "True NOB!".  Most conversations with Z involve at least one quotation from a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

 

In order of appearance, guys that called themselves Nobs.

Larry actually started The Nobs. He started out at the tender age of 12 pursuing his dream of becoming a jazz singer. He followed in the footsteps of his idols Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday. Unfortunately the sequined gowns and bright red lipstick were a little too risqué for the time and critics wrote him off as "eccentric". Realizing his own untapped limitless talent, he took to the stringed instrument with the least amount of strings, the bass. After about 3-1/2 years of hard work he called upon some contemporaries to start playing "jam sessions". The entire thing was over in 4 minutes when at the end of 'Should I stay or should I go', Larry was fresh out of material. 19 years later The Nobs were born.

Larry has since retired from The Nobs to enjoy hours of needle point and macramé.

Steve’s high squeaky leprechaun voice raised a flag that Pat and Steve may be twin sons of different mothers. DNA testing was inconclusive. Steve was genuinely excited to audition for “The Nerds” and when he got the job he was ecstatic! His elation soon crashed to earth when Joe told him that he was now a “NOB”, not a “NERD”! Not being a stickler for details, he decided to take the gig despite his bitter disappointment. On a more somber note, Steve had to audition for the band on his wedding anniversary. The look on her face, “priceless”! 

After watching "Tin Cup", Steve has decide to follow his love of golf and Winnebago's.

This is currently the only known photograph of Dave. This along with a declined background check by the FBI have left us wondering if he is actually in the witness protection program. Dave now spends his time eating Fruit loops and watching Bugs Bunny cartoons. "Yeah see."
