Mushroomhead13

In the spring of 1993 seven members from the  bands of Hatrix, Terror, Unified Culture,
Ritual, Purgatory , Trelleborg and  Spudmonsters started a side project. They brought
 together a blend of music and a put on a stage show. They wore masks to hide their
 identitis but now are used for there stage show. when they were in there other bands
they would practice on the fifth floor in a building in the Westside of Cleveland.there 
after they  practiced many of them stayed and jammed for a little while. Then it ended 
up that seven came together and formed what started out, as a side project witch is now
 Mushroomhead. They  put together a blend of metal electronic and rap and hip hop 
to form there  sound. They played their first show in October 1993 at Flash's concert
club. Over the next year they played alot and got good reviews .They releasesed  their
 first album that was  self-titled Mushroomhead. The crowds kept on growing and
 growing. The fans      base got really big and they ended up selling out most of
 Cleveland's venues. They opened for bands like Marilyn Manson, Type O Negative,
 Anthrax, Misfits,Gwar and more. In September of 1996 they released their second 
Album Superbuick.  This album is the most liked album from the two cds that have been
 released  as I found out. They went to St. Louis to play the Midwest Regional Music     
Conference in June of 1997. In September that year they released a cd/cdrom remix cd.
 That was also in a 12" vinyl too. Now Mushroomhead was selling out  place like the
 Agora and larger venues. They played at the CMJ conference  in New York City. And
 they played the NXNE music conference in Toronto. On October of 1999 they released
 M3 the third album. They had 1,000 copies at  the agora and each copy sold that night. 
Mushroomhead headlined the Cleveland  World Series of Metal four years in a row from 
1997-2000. Bands like Drain STH, Overkill Six Feet Under opening for them. On May 
13 1999 Mushroomhead  opened the season at Blossom Music Center. They didn't sell
