When the floor caved in one night, they began performing every month at CBGBs in New York City. Unable to book shows anywhere else, the Bloodhound Gang first performed in an extra room at the home of future bassist and Jimmy Pop's Temple University classmate Jared Hennegan's house, in exchange for Schlitz beer, Marlboro cigarettes, and a chance to hand out their first demo tape, titled Just Another Demo. Franks and Bowe also took on the stage names "Jimmy Pop Ali" (the "Ali" was later dropped) and "Daddy Long Legs", respectively. They released an eponymous tape in 1990 before changing their name to the Bloodhound Gang the following year, a reference to "The Bloodhound Gang", a segment on the 1980s PBS kids' show 3-2-1 Contact that featured three young detectives solving mysteries and fighting crime. The Bloodhound Gang began in 1988 as a small alternative band, Bang Chamber 8, consisting of James Moyer Franks and Michael Bowe, both graduates of Perkiomen Valley High School. History Formation and early days (1988–1995) Having sold more than 6 million albums since its formation, the band is best known for their singles " Fire Water Burn", " The Bad Touch", " Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo", " Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss", " The Ballad of Chasey Lain", and a hard rock version of The Association's 1966 sunshine pop hit " Along Comes Mary". It was founded in 1988 by rappers Jimmy Pop and Daddy Long Legs (now in Wolfpac) as a hip-hop group, before branching out into other genres as their career progressed, including punk rock, alternative hip hop, rapcore, funk metal, and electronic rock. The Bloodhound Gang was an American rap rock band from Collegeville, Pennsylvania.
