Biography:

OVER ONE MILLION SOLD!

32 YEARS AND 416 BAND MEMBERS LATER GREEN JELLO STILL SUCKS....

Green Jell pronounced "green jello" was formed in 1981 in Kenmore, NY by founding member Bill Manspeaker. Originally named Green Jell, the band changed its name due to legal pressure from the owners of the Jell-O trademark, Kraft Foods, who claimed that it was an infringement of their trademark. Throughout the early 80s, Green Jell performed throughout NY, opening for bands like The Ramones and New York Dolls. Their reputation for over-the-top live performances and food-hurling audiences got them banned from most local venues.

After finding local success, many of the members relocated to Hollywood, CA where they quickly became a fixture of the underground scene. Green Jell then struck up an instant friendship with GWAR bonding with their mutual love of costumes and onstage antics. By this time, the band consisted of usually 20 members including new characters such as "Shitman" a giant, walking corn-filled poop monster, "Cowgod", "Rock n Roll Pumpkin", and "Satan's Ham." At one point even Danny Carey and Maynard James Keenan of Tool made the Green Jell roster.

In 1992, Zoo Entertainment, a subsidiary of BMG, released Green Jells Cereal Killer, an all video album including MTV hit, The Three Little Pigs. The following year, Zoo released an audio version of the album called, Cereal Killer Soundtrack. This album went gold in the US, and sold nearly 2.5 million units worldwide. The success led BMG to open Green Jell studios in Hollywood, where the band recorded Grammy nominated, 333. 333 includes The Bear Song from the Farrelly Brothers film, Dumb and Dumber.

In the following years, Green Jell continued to break the mold as they wrote the first ever video game soundtrack for Acclaim Entertainment video game, Spider Man & Venom: Maximum Carnage. Although they never officially broke up, band members went their separate ways until early 2008 when they reemerged for a US tour supporting a re-release of the Cereal Killer and 333 video/albums on DVD.
