The Poots started in 2001 like a blind man at an orgy, excited and frantic. They pump out Ramones influenced "genital rock" and have a stage show that resembles an elementary school play. Their "who gives a sh!t" attitude really hits home with the local New Orleans genitalia activists and tends to confuse those lacking a sense of humor.
The Poots formed in 2001 from the left overs of 'Anal Goobs from Pluto' and 'The Dead Geezers'. Guitarist Bill Ding started writing goofball punk rock tunes like a gopher in heat. Meanwhile, vocalist Ric Poot recruited a slew of couch potatoes and rejects to form the legendary Fart Club. The Poots then became a genital rock super group of volcanic proportions before they could even record their first album!
Then, one wretched day in 2003, "Fart in Your Cup,” was unleashed upon the public.
Fans clinged to The Poots like flies on shit. The hit "Lettin' it Loose" was proclaimed a rock epic by Shichapants Magazine, the premier publication of the genital rock movement. Recording offers started blasting in. The Poots were eventually picked up by Rectum Records and were signed to a 32 album contract. Their first release from Rectum was a cover album entitled 'R.I.P.' They attacked a variety of classic punk rock tunes and added to them a stinky new twist never before heard by man. 'Poots 3' soon followed to little acclaim, and 'Poots 4' entitled "Rare Nugglets" was only released to a then shrinking Fart Club. Only with the release of 'Poots 5' would these goofballs reclaim some shred of their former demi-god-like status.
With 28 albums remaining under contract The Poots are kinda fucked.
With five albums under their rather large belt, The Poots are currently working on "Poots 6" and a split 7" with Die Rotzz.
