Noggin Toboggan

Noggin Toboggan was a Christian punk band from Atascadero, California in the on Bettie Rocket Records.

The band formed in summer of 1995 when Mike Anderson (drums) met Jeremy Wells (bass guitar) at Atascadero Bible Church. Jeremy told Jeff (guitar) and Bryan Mclain (recorder) about Mike. Before long, Jeremy, Jeff, Bryan and Mike started playing. They recorded their first jam session at Bryan's house. Afterwards, Bryan left the band to go solo.

Jeff, Jeremy and Mike began practicing together and also became good friends in the meantime. They went to Joyfest '96 (Knotts Berry Farm) and talked to the Supertones. In 1997, Bryan re-entered the band and they recorded a 13-song EP at Moon Studios entitled Wookin Po Nub. This is a reference to a skit from the earlier days of Saturday Night Live where Eddie Murphy plays Buckwheat and tries to say "Looking For Love". They had 1,000 CDs pressed and distributed and it sold out. This album is very hard to find today.

Noggin Toboggan played many shows and they matured. When 1998 rolled around, they signed onto Bettie Rocket Records. In March 1999, they released their second album, Snapcase. The band released two more albums and then disbanded in 2002.
