the bollweevils

the bollweevils are a punk band from chicago , illinois .
the members consist of daryl wilson on vocals , miggles perez on bass , ken fitzner -lrb- `` ken weevil '' -rrb- on guitar , and pete mumford on drums .
former members include founding bass player , bob skwerski , brian czarnik -lrb- who played simultaneously in oblivion -rrb- on drums later replaced by brett friesen -lrb- who played simultaneously in houseboy -rrb- .
they formed during the naked raygun era which was where the band members met and also , for whom they eventually opened .
the group released a number of albums on dr. strange records ; though , their first , minor releases were on underdog records -lrb- chicago -rrb- .
the group 's current record label , go deaf records llc , is owned and operated by the band .
in the summer of 1993 , the band went on a cross-country road tour with the smoking popes .
ultimately , the bollweevils dissipated when daryl completed medical school and became a doctor .
ken started a new band , the feds .
the bollweevils reunited for one show in late 2003 for wluw , the college radio station at loyola university chicago , and then again on november 3 and played a show at double door and november 5 , 2006 for riot fest at the congress theater , which naked raygun headlined .
the group says it will play another show if they can get 1000 friends on their myspace account .
in 2007 , the group posted on their official website : `` the bollweevils reunion at riot fest 2006 was n't a one-off deal and we 're all super stoked to say that we 're a band again '' .
in 2011 , the bollweevils amicably parted ways with founding bassist , bob skwerski , and recruited current bass player , miguel perez .
the band is performing actively and working on new music as of 2012 .
ken weevil is the creator of fitzner 's law , which is a rule of thumb that reads as follows : any song that contains the words `` hey '' or `` go '' is automatically good .
