About & Barnes: Art Barnes is the alter ego of actor & musician Bill Mumy (of the TV sci-fi classics “Lost In Space” and “The Twilight Zone,” among countless other roles spanning a lifelong career which continues thru present). Together with childhood friend & fellow musician, the late Artie Barnes, (the elusive and reclusive, Robert Haimer), the demented duo became Barnes & Barnes, achieving nationwide acclaim on alternative rock & comedy radio programming alike, and garnering consistent airplay on MTV with their bizarre stylings. 

 

The infamous “Fish Heads” music-video from their 1980 debut album “Voobaha” (also available in a remastered 180 gram vinyl collector’s edition from Demented Punk), directed by and starring actor Bill Paxton (“Aliens," “Weird Science”), aired repeatedly on Saturday Night Live (twice in the 1980s and again nearly three decades later on an SNL prime time special). “Fish Heads” was ranked by Rolling Stone at #57 in the top 100 music videos of all-time, and the iconic song itself has been referenced in a myriad of film and TV shows over the years, including the Emmy award winning animated series The Simpsons. 

 

In addition to the cult acclaim of “Fish Heads," Barnes & Barnes upheld a diverse catalog of music in the national consciousness for 4 decades, and throughout, Bill Mumy aka Art Barnes has written, produced and/or collaborated with an array of artists in different genres including Dr. Demento, “Weird Al" Yankovic, Crispin Hellion Glover, Wildman Fischer, pop superstars America, Steve Perry (formerly of Journey), Shaun Cassidy, Rosemary Clooney, Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo, and many more. 

 

Alongside a vastly accomplished career as an actor, writer & producer, Bill Mumy’s prolific music career spans a rich catalog of solo releases and collaborative works, most recently partnered with Paul Gordon as “Gully,” and the band Action Skulls, featuring Mumy alongside Vicki Peterson (The Bangles) and John Cowsill (The Cowsills, The Beach Boys). Now, the Barnes & Barnes legacy continues with a return to its most potently fun and lighthearted roots, in & Barnes “Shit Happens.”
