That 1 Guy

Mike Silverman (a.k.a. That 1 Guy) is a classically trained bassist, but while on the path to respectable mainstream success, something went fantastically wrong. In 2003, Silverman wrote, recorded the debut album from his demented alter ego That 1 Guy—a magnificently insane one-man show that has been making waves across America. He made the record with an unwieldy homemade instrument called 'The Magic Pipe', wrote songs called It's Raining Meat and Weasel Potpie, and titled the disc Songs in the Key of Beotch. Whatever drove the mild-mannered Silverman to do this is debatable, but one thing is for sure: fans of the musically bizarre will be forever grateful.
