This video was created by Stacey Ferguson & Dave Foster for the WesFest 4 show, advertising the release of the first and only I, Claudius CD "Bleed: The Wes Demos." Here's to you, my friends...

"We are not tightly constructed, we are not purposeful. And we like it just the way it is right now."
I, Claudius heavy sound was the inevitable result of 4 Berklee College buddies collective rage over being hired sidemen in too many painfully lame bands throughout the mid-90s.
What was clearly needed to set things right was Wehmillers huge bass riffs and huger drum programming, Keenans sardonic lyrics and vocals, and the tuned-down and turned-up guitar work of Griff Peters. Overcoming significant apathy from both fans and band members alike, I, Claudius performed live throughout the 90s in small, obscure clubs in Los Angeles and San Diego with original drummer Chip Vayenas as well as Zappa Plays Zappa touring drummer Joe Travers. Guitarist Lance Konnerth joined the band on second guitar for even more girthy, distorted sonic overkill.
