M.I.R.V.
M.I.R.V. was a band based in the San Francisco, California, Bay Area. Founded in 1993, it initially consisted of the band's namesake guitarist and singer, Marc "Mirv" Haggard; bassist Craig McFarland; drummer David Kobza; and guitarist Bryan Kehoe, who also contributed vocals and keyboards. Kehoe left the band in 2001 to form The Kehoe Nation and was replaced by Spent Poets singer Adam Gates, aka The Filthy Ape. Recently, the band has been playing shows as a 5-piece with both Kehoe and Gates. Their musical style is diverse, and includes elements of hard rock, heavy metal, funk, country, opera, experimental, electronica, and polka.
