Retarted Elf
1990 - 2001
Rap/funk/metal band from Austin Texas. Highly theatrical, 1990s Austin-based band known for pioneering a chaotic but technically proficient "horn-driven hip-hop metal" sound. Initially formed with a massive lineup featuring a dedicated brass section, dancers, and frontman Wubba, the group later recruited elite progressive metal veterans Doug Keyser and Rick Colaluca to anchor their rhythm section. They became a formidable live act in the Texas music scene, releasing independent cassettes before securing a Japanese distribution deal with Pony Canyon for their 1993 self-titled CD. The group disbanded by the late 1990s.
