The Weasels are a rock band based in Albany, New York and active since the mid-1980s. The group's core members are Doctor Fun (vocals, saxophones, keyboards, Onoyodel, lyrics and songwriting) and Roy Weasell (electric and acoustic guitars, vocals, keyboards, trombone, roto-vibe, mandolin, lyrics and songwriting). Chris Graf (keyboards, vocals, bass guitar, samples, E-flat horn, trumpet, musique concrete, gadgets, production and engineering) was also a co-founder and long-standing member of the group's creative nucleus.
The Weasels have released six albums since their inception and have played approximately 40 live shows. They have been compared in print most often to Frank Zappa’s Mothers of Invention and Steely Dan, based on their melodic jazz and blues based music, elaborate horn and vocal arrangements, deployment of highly-regarded session players, open-ended and suspended compositional style, exacting recording standards, and intelligent use of sardonic, sarcastic, historic, political and scatological themes in their lyrics.
