Choosing their name on a lark, following a show promoter's misprinting (and quite a bit of alcohol), stoner rockers Super Heavy Goat Ass (originally NO2) were formed in 1999, first residing in Lubbock before relocating to Austin, TX. There vocalist/guitarist Russell Abbott, guitarist Derek Halfmann, and drummer Tim Hurt spent some time getting their proverbial sh*t together, and briefly worked with Dixie Witch bassist Curt Christenson. Following his permanent replacement by Brent Boepple, Super Heavy Goat Ass recorded a self-titled debut in 2002, a split LP with fellow Texans Southern Gun Culture in 2003 (even borrowing their drummer Trent Parker for the occasion), and then a second full-length entitled 60,000 Years for local Arclight Records in 2005. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, Rovi
