Bloodhound Gang

founded in 1992 as a Depeche Mode cover band, two members, Bubba K Love and Foof, left the Bloodhound Gang in 1993. The remaining Jimmy Pop Ali and Daddy Long Legs brought Jared Hasselhoff into the band as bassist and DJ Q-Ball in 1995. Before their first full-length release Use Your Fingers (1995), however, Daddy Long Legs also leaves the group. Now that a first long-term formation had been found, the Bloodhound Gang also made their commercial breakthrough: Their second album One Fierce Beer Coaster , released in 1996 via Geffen Records, reached number 14 in Germany and number 11 in Austria, while in the USA the album even won a gold record. The quartet, known for their extravagant stage shows and with a style somewhere between pop-punk, funk-metal and rap-rock, landed the biggest milestone in the band's history in 1999: Hooray for Boobies became an international blockbuster and reached pole position in the album charts in Germany and Austria, while the Bloodhound Gang's third studio opus also reached a respectable 14th place in the US Billboard 200. Successful singles such as "The Bad Touch" and "Along Comes Mary" were awarded several gold records. The track "Inevitable Return of the Great White Dope" also made it onto the official soundtrack of the horror comedy Scary Movie. After a release break of almost six years, Jimmy Pop Ali and Co. celebrated their comeback in 2005 with Hefty Nine, with the track "Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo (F.U.C.K.)" , borrowed from it, also making it back onto the singles charts in countries such as Germany, Switzerland and the UK. Show Us Your Hits, a best-of album released in 2010, was followed by the fifth studio album Hard-Off in 2015.
