The Pop-O-Pies are a punk band from San Francisco founded by Joe Pop-O-Pie that got their start by repeatedly playing a cover of The Grateful Dead's "Truckin' " different ways. Though the band went through many line up changes, notably featuring members of Faith No More and Mr. Bungle, and inspirational bass guitarist/song writer Mike King, two albums would follow.
