The Wesley Willis Fiasco is tagged as: The Wesley Willis Fiasco was a punk rock band in Wicker Park, Chicago, Illinois. The band featured Wesley Willis on vocals, Pat Barnard on lead guitar, Dale Meiners on guitar and bass. Dale Meiners previously played guitar Billy Corgan’s pre-Smashing Pumpkins band, the Marked. In 1992 Willis began writing songs, and soon after, Meiners took Willis into his studio to record them. After many drummer changes, Meiners, Barnard and Willis formed the Wesley Willis Fiasco with Dave Nooks on bass and Brendan Murphy on drums. They released only one studio album, Spookydisharmoniousconflicthellride (a reference to Willis’s description of his schizophrenic episodes), which is found on the Urban Legend label. Various live albums are available, though most are bootlegs. After the band broke up, Willis went on to record his own solo albums, in which he rants over a sample song from his keyboard. One of his songs on his solo album “Rush Hour” is about the fiasco band. The Fiasco band covered the song “Girls on Film” by Duran Duran, which appeared on the Duran Duran Tribute Album, in 1997. They also released a 7” vinyl split with Sublime. The band toured with many bands, most notably Rocket from the Crypt, Sublime, and Lordz of Brooklyn. The ban...
