SNUB SNUB: THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN DEVICES (THE BAND THAT NEVER "WAS") SNUB SNUB began in the late nineties when DEVICES members Rick Trembles & Robert Labelle decided it'd be interesting to chronicle their 20-plus year history playing music in various Montreal bands (AMERICAN DEVICES since 1980) beginning with the first wave of punk rock & ending in the present. Rick & Rob determined to go off on their own & write separate reminiscences so they could compare notes at a later date & see what kind of embellishments, omissions & historical rewrites would result from each others' selective memories. With SNUBDOM.COM, THE AMERICAN DEVICES present the first 2 installments of this experiment. All contents © 2000-2006, Rick Trembles UNAUTHORIZED REPRODUCTION STRICTLY FORBIDDEN

SNUB: THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN DEVICES (The band that never "was") © 2000-2006, Rick Trembles (Note: the "was" in quotation marks is a pun signifying the fact that the band stupidly never stopped existing, therefore banishing it from ever being referred to in the past tense)
