Offering witty lyrics, strident guitars, irresistible choruses and more than a hint of geekiness, Wheatus were - and remain - the brainchild of Brendan B.Brown, who originally formed the band with his brother Pete, (drums), Philip Jiminez (keyboards, samples) and Rich Liegey (bass). They initially built a devoted fanbase, playing New York clubs before hitting it big in 2000 with the witty youth anthem Teenage Dirtbag; a hit all over the world which also featured in the movie förlorare.
