Ollie Stench and The Humbugs

Ollie Stench as a child... Christmas morning... waking at dawn, hoping against all hope that this year wouldn't be the same as the last... he would swear that he had been good... all the whole long year... running, pitter patter, in his footed pj's, down the steps... A pile of brightly colored boxes... excitement as he tears off the wrapping... remembering when his mother told him once that it was okay to rip the paper open... ripping the paper, throwing it aside... opening the box...

...socks and underwear again!

Such was the life of Ollie Stench. This may have colored his grown-up outlook on the Holidays. It is known that the spirit of Our Lard and Shaver, Jebus Goddamned Christ can pierce the hardest heart, the blackest night.

In 2001, Ollie Stench recorded his watershed single with Billy Fisk (production and mixing, drums and keys), Christopher Schaefer (guitar) and The Ordinaires Hot-Rod Annie and Leon Barickman. Enjoy as Ollie Stench sings the songs he wrote in the spirit of the holidays:
