**Cornbugs** was an American [avant-garde metal](/source/Avant-garde_metal) band formed in 1995. Comprising vocalist [Bill "Choptop" Moseley](/source/Bill_Moseley), guitarist [Buckethead](/source/Buckethead),[1] drummer [Pinchface](/source/Pinchface) and keyboardist [Travis Dickerson](/source/Travis_Dickerson), the band released five albums, two DVDs, and three compilation albums before they split up in 2007. The songs were heavily inspired by [The Texas Chain Saw Massacre](/source/The_Texas_Chain_Saw_Massacre) and its sequel [The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2](/source/The_Texas_Chainsaw_Massacre_2), with Bill Mosley playing his Choptop character from the latter.

## Biography

The band released their first album, *Spot the Psycho*, in 1999. The band didn't release anything else until 2001, when they released their second album, *Cemetery Pinch*, and third album, *How Now Brown Cow*, simultaneously. All three albums were self-released and sold via Moseley's website.

In 2004 the Cornbugs released their fourth album called *Brain Circus*. This album was released on the label of their new keyboardist [Travis Dickerson](/source/Travis_Dickerson), TDRS Music. Later that same year they released their fifth and final studio album of new material called *Donkey Town*.

In 2005 and 2006, TDRS Music compiled most of Cornbugs' early self-released material and remastered it, releasing it on the albums *Rest Home for Robots*, *Skeleton Farm* and *Celebrity Psychos*.

The band announced their split in 2007 after two DVDs, *Quackers!* and *Headcheese* were made available.

The band contributed three songs on the tattoo instructional DVD, "Dead Man's Ruin - Advanced Tattoo Techniques" by [Derek Dufresne](/source/Derek_Dufresne), a tattoo artist from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
