Chainsaw Weasel is more of an idea than a "Who". Scott Adams, of Dilbert fame, once had poor lonely Dilbert trying out the dating game. Dilbert, being Dilbert, programed a computer to find ways to make himself more appealing to the opposite sex. Well, the computer found that Dilbert needed a sense of humor and provided him with some "can't miss' joke material. The computer determined that the four funniest words in the human language are "Prune Eating Chainsaw Weasel" (or any reference to Giligan's Island...little buddy). Well the rest is history...Chainsaw Weasel is comprised of Anthony Vilgiate (that's me) a sampler, a four-track and a room full of instruments. (See the Gear page at chainsaw-weasel.com for a full list)

A friend of mine, Phil DeEncio, lent me a sampler (Korg ES-1) and I found that it opened the creative flood gates. I sampled every drum, keyboard and bass guitar I had and just kept going. I was playing one of my songs for my son and he really liked it (aren't kid great!) so I shared it with some others and they encouraged me to make my first album, Itch I Can't Scratch.

Itch featured the #1 Hip Hop Freestyle song on MP3, the title track, Itch I Can't Scratch and was a fun high energy album. However, despite rave reviews, the production quality was poor and I knew I could do better. That's were Straight Out of Calvery comes in. I spent 10 times as long writing and producing that album and I am very proud of it.

My motto is to Make a Joyful Noise unto the Lord and you will not find any depressing industrial on my albums but bright, high energy upbeat music that you can drive, dance or chill too.

To God Be the Glory!

Thanks for listening and To God Be the Glory!
