Chris Sniper is Fingering Gottliebs howling lead singer. He is a highly ambitious rawk god, with a huge messiah
complex and vocal range to boot. He is the ex- guitar twanger for Parsec, which was an experimental punk-funk gothic
alt-country disco/industrial speed thrash bubblegum pop band that put out 3 records, Blurry Nonsense Unfocused Rambling and
Ego Posturing for the indie label Sony.
Chriss influences are: Judas Priest, Sonic Youth, Motley Crue, Melvins, Poison, Black Flag, Yes, The Pixies. L.A. Guns,
Fugazi, Journey, The Clash, Foreigner, Nirvana, Styx, Rollins Band, and Merciful Fate.
UPDATE SINCE 2002
Chris Sniper cut his hair and becomes "spritually centered". He is returning from the Far East where he has spent
the past 2 years learning from that Indian guy who helped George Harrison out. Ravi Shankar i think his name was.
He is returning to the US refreshed and ready to scream his pipes off. He was in a band for a short time in 2004 while
in India and stared in over 2,000 films over the course of 6 weeks. He put his spiritual and movie life on hold to rock
out once again.
No one really knows much about G. Some think he is a psycho prehistoric
mutant from Neptune, others think hes just shy, but what we do know is he can pound the shit out of his drums. G.
is currently working on a side-project band with bandmate Chris Sniper named "Howard and the Hotdogs". Their CD will
be out in September and will feature several artists including members of Fingering Gotlieb. With G. on lead vocals
and guitar and Sniper on drums and back up vocals, this hardcore/industrial band will beat the shit out of any band that comes
their way (except Fingering Gotlieb of course).
Hometown- Parts Unknown, Nebraska
UPDATE SINCE TOO THOUZEND AND TOO
G. denied claims in late 2003 that he was in fact the "Gotlieb" part of Fingering
Gotlieb. G. held a press confrence at JFK airport in March 2004 to deny he was in fact Dean Gotlieb in disguise.
He explained Dean Gotlieb was a masterful wizard who lived in ancient Sumaria and conjured up spirits that would bring about
evil and plagues upon your enemies. He said the reason for the bands reunion is to conjure up these evil spirits, we
will keep you posted if the appocalypse is nearing or if this is just a hoax.
Skeet LeFlare is Fingering Gottliebs snarling guitar swipper. Born in Nevada, Holland, Skeet is the bands terd-filled
tub of scholastic hyjinx. Although, very intelligent, he still kills his many brain cells by throwing himself down the stairs,
which is the infamous trademark of Fingering Gottlieb. Asked to join the band by his adopted brother Rex, Skeet quickly
accepted the task. He is the ex- percussionist of the band Jesuss Laundry, which was a Deathcore Polka experiment. They
ironically went Gold in Israel w/ their one and only album Rectally Inappropriate.
Skeets influences are: Diamonds in the Rough, The One-ders, Spinal Tap, The California Dreams, Jessie and The Rippers, Zack
Attack, Limozeen, David Hasselhoff, The Lone Rangers, Johnny Bravo, Dinosaur Junior, Poison, The Joe Perry Project, Reggie
and the Full Effect, and Jimmy and the Shrimp Shack Shooters
UPDATED SINCE 2002
Skeet opened his own line of successful 66 cent stores and married Kristen Ono.
Many say she was linch pin that broke up the band up in the first place calling her a modern day Yoko Ono.
However, people who say that are retarded because she met Skeet after the band had already broken up.He ran into G. at church
(G. was desicrating religious idols and Skeet was putting up advertisments for his shitty stores) G. told Skeet of the
reunion idea and Skeet loved it saying "66 cents doesn't go as far as it used to". G. grunted and smashed a cross over
his head.
Stud Snooka is Fingering Gottlieb's tremendous guitarist. Snooka recently turned pro in snowboarding and rides
for the Active Ride Team. Haling from gorgeous southern California Snooka is a kick-back kid and relies on his wit to
get him through life. Although pretty shy he is known to be pretty popular with the ladies! Invited in by the
mysterious G, Snooka left the talented band Mest, to become the newest member of the soon to be multi platinum Fingering Gottlieb.
It is unknown to everyone in the band, but there are rumors circling the music industry of a secret love in his life.
Musical Influences: None
Favorite Band: Mest, Thursday, and Fingering Gottlieb. He also enjoys Air
Supply too!
Sponsors: Active Ride Shop, Forum Snowboards, Atticus, and Volcom Clothing
UPDATE SINCE 2002
No one has seen Studd since May of 2003 when he left the Finger. G. spoke on the phone with Studd in October
of 2003 and again on the internet in August 2004. Attempts to get Studd to join the reunion were not made and are not
expected.
The talented young bass player known as Rex LaFlare (a.k.a. Jim Corso), is an intricate part to the bands hard and unique
sounds. Rex was also a lead cause in the band actually getting together, suggesting the idea first to his brother Skeet, and
then to the voice talent Chris Sniper. Coupled with the remainder of the band, these three were the main cause of Fingering
Gotllieb being put together.
UPDATED SINCE 2002
Rex became a master of Logic and was trained by the Master Logic Ninja Medina. Rex played with several teenage
garage bands he would find while riding through the suburbs of Los Angeles on his tricycle. He played with a few but
ended up just crashing at his band memembers houses and stealing most of their possessions and having sex with their moms.
He then went on to become one of the largest film producers in south eastern Pennsylvania. G. hunted Rex down on the
set of Blades Trinity in the Winter of 2004 and asked him if he wanted to reunite the band. Rex said "uh, whatever"
and that was assumed to be a good sign.
"I quit Sir Squid for this?"
Rick Insidja is Fingering Gottlieb's most awesome keyboard player! He is from Succassuna, New Jersey.
Favorite bands: Devo and Fuck Your Yankee Blue Jeans
UPDATED SINCE 2002
Rick moved to Europe to work in an absenth bar. He put out a solo album that completly sucked ass. Fortunatly
it was not realeased in the US but went to Number 1 on the the French Charts (they usually like shit). Rick also played
for a some European soccer team but got fired after the first game because he beat up 2 referees and 32 fans all at once.
He will be flying back for the reunion in mid January.
