The beginnings of Hairzilla were formed in 1984 by Easy Gold and Lixx. Their name at that time was 'Cathouse'. The band lineup was Easy Gold - Guitar, Lixx - Guitar, Stud McGriffen - Vocals, Clyde 'The Glide' Samson - Bass, and Moe Weiser - Drums. The band gained fame quickly and was soon signed to a 5 year deal with Uncle Fess Records. Their first album was recorded during December 1986 and was called 'Bloodmaster'. The proposed cover was controversial since it depicted a prostitute in a Nurses uniform taking blood from a Nun. The first tour was turbulent at best, ending with the cancellation of all tour dates due to frequent riots caused by Catholic protestors (which were now a common staple at Cathouse shows). News of the tours cancellation came while the band was in Washington DC doing the final mix to 'Bloodmaster'. To make matters worse, Stud McGriffen's Yugo (then delivering the completed tapes to Uncle Fess Records) was struck by 'blue ice' and burst into flames on April 17th 1987, killing Stud and destroying the tapes.

     In total despair the band decided to take skydiving lessons to brighten their spirit. During the band's first jump from an actual plane (at 14,000 feet), Moe wussed out and could not jump from the plane. The Jump Guide was able to calm him down, but he still would not jump. During the flight back to the landing area, Moe discovered that the Jump Guide was a struggling singer from Sydney, Australia. The next day, Izzy Large auditioned and was found to fit the band perfectly. The new group was struggling for a new name. After several radio contests and a write-in poll conducted by Muff Magazine, Hairzilla was born.

The new lineup wasted no time and traveled to rural Nebraska in order to get back to their roots. Their Sabbatical at the 'The Slickest Pig - Pig Farm & Breakfast' (located where Highway 26 meets Highway 385) inspired their next effort 'American Swine'. The band wrote and recorded there for 10 months and produced some of their best material to date. In the early morning hours of March 19th 1988 the band awoke to find that the hogs had destroyed all that they had recorded. After loosing another 11 months work and spending thousands of dollars on studio and production time, Uncle Fess Records decided to clone the members of Hairzilla and was somewhat successful. The clones were named Furasaurus and immediately received a 15 year contract. Having a perfect clone of Hairzilla, Uncle Fess decided to release the original members from their contract. Hairzilla countered them in court and it was found that Uncle Fess had trained several Pigs to destroy master tapes in order to get out of their deal.

     During the long court proceedings, Clyde 'The Glide' Samson was hospitalized for acute indigestion in Milwaukee. Unfortunately a malfunctioning hospital bed crushed him as he slept. Without a bass player for that night’s performance, Easy and Lixx visited a local bar to get regroup before cancelling the gig. As they were leaving the bar, Easy found Doc Lush urinating on his car. Doc had been performing down the street with his band 'Falstaff'. Easy and Lixx followed Doc to where he was playing and after 10 crowns between them, offered Doc the job.

     Within 6 months, the clones became erratic. Furasaurus was producing a large amount of material, but it really sucked. The clones were sent to a laboratory in Germany to asses the problem. After 3 weeks of tests, the clones contracted mad cow desease and within a week all had dropped dead. Uncle Fess Records quickly initiated a cover-up and destroyed all evidence of the existence of the clones.

     Without a label and no new material to shop, Hairzilla went on a 30 week tour of 'Large & Lovely Women's Apparel' outlets across the US. 13 weeks into the tour, Moe Weiser flew to Vegas with Large & Lovely's catalog cover girl. They were married and never heard from again. Without a drummer to finish the tour and no cover model, Large & Lovely cancelled all future dates and refused to pay the band for 'stealing' their model. Dead broke and stuck in Cincinnati, Izzy Large attempted to get some free publicity by taking over SkyCam 9 and playing an acoustic show on the roof of WCPO TV. Unfortunately, Izzy didn't get permission from the station and all 4 were promptly arrested. Now dead-ass broke and in jail, the band decided to go their separate ways.

     Easy Gold moved to Utah and had 23 children (all girls) with his 7 wives. Lixx became a semi-pro race driver in the 'World of Outlaws' circuit. Izzy Large traveled to New Orleans, Louisiana and became a homeless street performer. He was known county-wide for his dead-accurate mimes and his prowess with a squeegee. Doc Lush traveled the world in countless bands named after alcoholic beverages.

     In late summer 2005, a hurricane devastated New Orleans and Izzy Large was relocated to Saint Louis, MO. While departing his plane he met up with Lixx who was in town for a local charity race to help the hurricane victims. They met later that evening and decided to go check out some bands. The 3rd place they went to on Laclede's Landing had a band named 'Zima'. Something sounded familiar and they took a closer look. Low and behold, there was 'ol Doc Lush thumping away with bass in one hand and beer in the other! They jammed the rest of the evening and after 10 crowns between them, ran out to a strip joint across the river. While entering the club they were immediately recognized by the bouncer who happened to be Moe Weiser's son that he had bore as a teenager. After marrying in Vegas, Moe decided to go into landscaping and got custody of him. Moe taught his son all of the old Hairzilla songs and showed him all of the letters and photos from that time, turning him into the ultimate Hairzilla fan. The bouncer followed them all night long, beating out old Hairzilla tunes on the stages, tables, and glasses. The club's manager got tired of it since 3 fights had broken out and no bouncer was to be found. When the manager found him drunk and disorderly with the Hairzilla boys, he was immediately fired. Full of liquid courage the band told the manager that he could not be fired because he had already quit to work for us!

     Later (much later!) the next day, they awoke underneath the arch with arch security kicking them and asking for ID's. Through the morning fog, Styxx (Moe's bouncer son) asked Doc what his new job was. Remembering what had transpired the night before Doc replied "I guess were gonna' rock!". As security escorted us from the arch grounds, 2 large busses rolled up and several teenage females came pouring out. Our curiosity peaked as several of the girls started running toward us asking for autographs as though we were Ozzy or Motley Crue. Thinking this was a Hairzilla cult (we have heard of them but never witnessed them) we asked them for their leader. Instead of taking us to their leader, they started looking at us as if we were crazy and started yelling at us. Fearing for our lives, a dark figure emerged from the bus and ran into the crowd. "Shut up Girls!" the figure barked as he walked closer to us and within seconds we realized that it was none other than Easy Gold. Easy rounded up a couple of his wives to deal with the kids and we traveled back to the Landing for more crowns, music, and memories.
