Cringe.com: Interview with a Bigfoot (1998)

Issue 8.1, Winter 1998
The interview took place at Larry's Bar & Grill a few weeks ago. Bigfoot is David Bleveans-Holm, Melanie Bleveans-Holm, Bill Clark, Brad Swiniarski and the occasional Rhodes player, most recently Jonathan Beard. Their CD Sleepwalk was released in late 1996. Dave and Melanie are married to each other. As a fan I was hoping to offer them a platform to discuss whatever and I hope the questions provoked some good conversation. 
Dave is a little gun shy. We briefly joke about his nervousness for interviews. We settle in to a booth and hit play. Portishead joins us from the jukebox. 
Can you give me a brief history of the current band line-up? 
Dave - The first thing that happened was Jeff Clowdus, our previous second guitar player, decided to move to NM. Bill had been sitting in and playing some pedal steel on a few songs and he was incorporated into the group as a full member. [Jeff Wood decided not to continue playing. Jon Beard came in about 6 months later.] 
With an uncanny appropriateness imagine one of Larry's drunks singing "on the good ship, lollipop ..."

New Additions: *!!@#ed In The Head / Too Drunk To Say 7" single

I picked up the *!!@#ed In The Head / Too Drunk To Say 7" single by Bigfoot some time ago, and I'm not exactly sure how or where, but it's a nice little slice of country indie rock.
