Ex-Circle Jerks singer Keith Morris assembled a collection of L.A. indie vets under the name Midget Handjob to play cacophonous punk-jazz behind his spoken word musings. The remainder of the lineup featured Clawhammer members Chris Bagarozzi (guitar/bass) and Jon Wahl (sax/keyboards/bass), De Tox's Tony Malone (guitar/bass), the Geraldine Fibbers' Kevin Fitzgerald (percussion/guitar), Lutefisk's Quasar (percussion), and France's Jean LeBear (sax). After gigging around L.A., the group recorded its debut album, Midnight Snack Break at the Poodle Factory, which was released on Epitaph Records in late 2000.
