Comedy

Cheerful practitioners of bad-taste comedy rock, Barnes & Barnes found an enduring bit of fame for their lo-fi single "Fish Heads," which became a staple of Dr. Demento's radio show and an early hit on MTV. The duo's dirty little secret was they were both professional musicians who worked with well-regarded soft rock bands while cranking out purposefully weird albums like 1980's Voobaha and 1981's Spazchow for fun during their downtime. While they never scored another semi-success like "Fish Heads," they continued to release albums like 2019 Holidaze in Lumania and 2021's Pancake Dream until the death of co-founder Artie Barnes closed the book on the duo in 2023.

Members of Barnes & Barnes include, or have included, Bill Mumy and ROBERT HAIMER.
