Asphalt Mulch

Asphalt Mulch is a local band of five members who descibe themselves as "death metal gardeners." They preform frequently at Grubb Gardens. Their latest album is "Cabbage Worms," which includes such songs as "Compost," "Herbicide," "Cabbage Loopers," and "My Favorite Shovel."

The band members often preform in strange costumes, usually with their faces obscured or painted. Some costumes are abstract (bright clothing to represent flowers) while others are more complex and realistic (the bug costumes that many people described as "nightmarish"). All the members use stagenames:

Root (frontman and lead singer)

Lost Seed (lead guitar)

Dying Fish (electric violin)

OrangePeel (bass, smashing glass bottles)

Filbert (drums)
