5. Brodelic Sidecar I (1999 - Present)
In Baltimore, The Dell-Broys rule!--a ghost of generic bartime numbness and camaraderie.This variant is an overblown irritainment excursion in an schlock progressive rock direction, sort of, from that same dynasty. When Dr. Stuart Mostofsky decides that it is BSI time, Tom Boram, Neil Feather, and Bob Wagner leap into action and choose a cultural event to be simultaneously illuminated and obscured in an elaborately silly manner. The subjects for perversion have so far been an unreleased Ren and Stimpy cartoon, Jesus Christ Superstar, Sid and Marty Kroft's Lidsville, the Four Seasons, to name a few.

6. The Official Project (1990 E.V. - 1993 E.V.)
Neil Feather and tENTATIVELY a. cONVIENIENCE co-founded this massive Fortean aleatoric novelty-music group that changed its name for every performance and was a crucial ralleying point for the Baltimore experimental community. Utilizing the C.A.M.U. or cue-activated modular unit system, this everchanging big band developed a highly elaborate protocall for the operation of a very unique, quasi-composed music. The group was documented through numerous cassettes on cONVENIENCE's Widemouth Tapes label, and has an LP released on Wafer Face. The group also toured the US and Canada.
