[edit] Cheese On Bread

Fishback also sings and writes songs in the anti-folk band Cheese On Bread, which has released two albums, Maybe Maybe Maybe Baby (Luv-a-Lot Records) in 2004 and The Search for Colonel Mustard in 2007. The band toured North America in 2005 and Europe in 2007.[1] [1]

[edit] The Faggots

While his work with Cheese On Bread is characteristically child-like, Fishback also fronts a darker band, The Faggots, which boasts a harder rock sound. Unlike Cheese On Bread, which has garnered mostly positive publicity, The Faggots have prompted controversy in the press. [2] [3]

[edit] Solo Recordings

By himself, Fishback has released one full-length solo album, Sweet Chastity (Luv-a-Lot Records), in 2005, followed by an EP of cover songs, Strange Little Faggots, in 2006.

He also recorded an audio performance-art piece called "Faggotssaywhat?" for the 2007 Antifolk compilation album Anticomp Folkilation.

[edit] Miscellaneous

In September, 2006, Fishback was the subject of a piece on the PBS newsmagazine program In The Life.
