History

Formation

Loppybogymi was formed in Mobile, Alabama by Tim Ramenofsky, James Orr, and Gregory Slay in 1988. Frustrated by lack of national exposure [2] the band relocated to Nashville, Tennessee in September 1991.

Disbandment

The band broke up in 1994. Gregory Slay went on to join Remy Zero. Tim Ramenofsky relocated to Hattiesburg, MS and founded the independent record label, T-Bones Records, most notable for releasing Afroman's first two albums, Because I Got High and Sell Your Dope.[3]
