Cry of the Nutria, The
From fbft
A virtual "Slipknot" of has-beens & never-beens, formed from side projects of many different bands in Grand Forks in 2003. Can be considered a "phantom band" of sorts because they only played two actual shows, neither of which were anywhere near the Red River Valley.
Members
- Dave Collins (vocals)
- Donovan Stewart (guitar)
- Eric Hills (bass, vocals)
- Joe Bailey (drums)
- Lorenzo Serna (vocals)
- Mike Sutehall (guitar)
- Cory Wolf (vocals)
Highlights
- Band name was conceived (as a joke) during a rodent search on the internet by guitarist Mike Sutehall, who found the following book excerpt: The nutria’s cry sounds exactly like the cry of a human baby. It is uncannily similar. Even I sometimes believed there were babies out there in the dark. Every mother thought she heard her baby crying for help.
- Very ridiculous band-logo featuring a nutria (otter-like rodent) eating.
- At one point, the band consisted of 10 people, but was narrowed down to seven because of likenesses to a small mob.
- Directly influenced the song "Ripoff" by Small Town Drunk.
