Many years ago, Kevin wrote banana slug lyrics to a traditional tune and played it at a summer camp campfire that night. The crowd went wild!  Over the years, The Banana Slug Song spread through outdoor science programs throughout California, and beyond. He started having visions of a bizarre band of awesome musicians and singers that could bring original wacky, rockin,’ songs about science to life. Somewhere around ‘92 he asked Pete, Mel, Lynn and his friend Joel if they’d be interested.  They thought it sounded strange, but did it, mostly just for fun.  It didn’t take long before they all realized they had something cool going on, and other people started to get psyched about their music.  They recorded a 4 song demo, and wrote and performed songs for the LucasArts CD-ROM game Mortimer and the Riddles of the Medallion, which won the 1996 Children’s Interactive Expo kid’s choice award for best music.  In ‘95, they recorded their first album, Rockin’ the Foundations of Science.  Eventually Joel left the group, and Big Larry and Nelson joined.  They toured California, playing music festivals like Strawberry and Live Oak.  In ‘97 they recorded their second album, Rock Candy. They kept performing and performing, inspiring families to dance, sing, laugh, and learn together. For decades, The Banana Slug Song and Gusano have been in the “top 10” of camp songs, while families have kept on rocking out to all their songs.
