Biography
BIG NASTY is a project that's been going on since 1997. Though it was not presented to the public until 2000 when the duo attended Fort Hayes Vocational Music Program. At that time Big Nasty was a five piece called "Big Nasty and the Skudnuggets". The Skudnuggets were three guitar players that also attended Fort Hayes. Though the five piece only did covers, Rob and Will stuck out like highly bruised tomato's.

After High School the duo played in two other projects. One of them being a early ratification of "OBUS" with Chris Minor and Mark Sims (Former guitarist for the Tough & Lovely) called "It's a Setup". The other being a Hip Hop combo with the early forming skills of "MC Lev Don" (MC for The Bootleggers)

Shortly after these projects Will wanted to travel and venture to the South and then the West coast.
Upon his return Will, Rob & Chris regrouped to form "OBUS" in 2004.

Big Nasty has hit a stride of great shows opening for such bands as Sighlo, Headchange, Martin Madeski & wood and even a future spot for Les Claypool in 2008.

Big Nasty is hitting local festivals this summer like Hempfest, Comfest, OMFG and Slam Jam. A debut cd in mid 2008 followed by a month tour starting in Chicago then ending in Columbus.
