If Igor Stravinsky teamed up with Joey Ramone to face down Hank Williams and Stiv Bators in a bar room brawl, The Snobs would be playing the soundtrack. Music for people who didn't want to be astronauts when they grew up.
None at this time. We would love it if Bloodshot Records called out of the blue long distance from Chicago and asked if we wanted to make a record, but that’s probably not going to happen. We’ll continue to release recordings from The Nook in Buellton, where Erik Runge has hosted the band many a time and marveled at our wacky sense of humor.

The Snobs Latest Lies Entry
The Snobs came together as a result of a prank (okay…some people would call it a crime) in San Francisco in 2003. Scott and Chris were in town to see The Paranoids at the legendary Oasis Club, that venerable establishment with the pool that, when covered, doubled as a dancefloor. They left early for the show and found parking quickly, much to their surprise, because parking South of Market is usually a matter of clairvoyance rather than availability. Deciding to hit a bar and kill the forty-five minutes before the show instead of going directly to the Oasis, they repaired to a hole-in-the-wall joint a block away for a beer or two.
After settling in with a beer, Scott announced ‘Chris, I gotta take a leak. Do you have the razor blade? To which Chris responded ‘Yes, I do have the razor blade, and I have to clean out my wallet, so I will come with you. The two of them then got up from their stools at the bar and headed towards the mens room, leaving in their wake a very suspicious bartender.
They entered the facility and found to their surprise, two guys trying to dislodge the condom machine from the wall. These guys were so busy with their work that they were quite startled when Chris asked ‘Jesus, are guys in a band or what?’
‘No! cried Blair.
‘Of course not! C.J. yelled. ‘Bands are for losers! Now help us with this goddamn condom machine.’
As the four of them busied themselves detaching the box from the wall, introductions were made. Blair and C.J., oddly enough, lived in the Santa Barbara area, as did Scott and Chris. Even odder was the fact that they’d come to see The Paranoids at the legendary Oasis Club.
‘So what’s with the condom machine? Scott asked, as they were getting nearer to freeing the fucking thing.
‘We’re going to steal it. said Blair.
‘And mail it to the Pope. C.J. added.
‘It’s a protest. said Blair.
Well, it was immediately clear to Scott and Chris that these were fine fellows and most certainly in a band. The machine finally came free of the wall and the four future band mates recovered from the exertion by sharing razor blades and clearing their wallets of extraneous business cards. Just as they had almost figured out how to smuggle the condom machine out of the bar the bartender burst into the rest room. He appeared slightly upset. The rest of the evening is a matter of public record with the San Francisco Police Department.
The Snobs have 'lots' of enemies.
