Cerebellum

Cerebellum was a band I was in around 1988 to 1989 consisting of: Will Chatham - Drums Breck Pipes - Guitar Tim Furnish - Guitar Jon Cook - Bass Joey Mudd - Vocals, tamborine Drew Daniel - Vocals, metal clanging

In 2010, Cerebellum reunited long enough to record some studio tracks (see here, the 2010 stuff) and re-issue the orginal recording onto one nifty marble colored vinyl LP. They also played a show to support the effort to help Jason Noble's fight against cancer.

Scott Ritcher did a great job of describing this band on the Slamdek website website, but to grab a brief quote from there:

"Cerebellum formed during the summer of 1988 after the breakups of Spot, Able To Act, and Lead Pennies. Spot brought Joey Mudd (vocals and metal) and Breck Pipes (guitar) to the group. Lead Pennies brought Will Chatham (drums) and Jon Cook (bass and vocals). Tim Furnish (guitar) joined after leaving Able To Act. Drew Daniel (metal and vocals) was added later, after Cerebellum had already begun performing. As a six piece, Cerebellum did a lot of instrument swapping and was famous for the ridiculous amounts of time they spent on stage between songs.

They tried to shift emphasis in the Louisville punk scene from being tough and textbook punk, to expressing emotions and speaking the truth. Music seemed to hold a deeper place in the hearts of this band."

Thank you Scott!
