M.I.R.V.
Mark "Mirv" Haggard
Part faith healing, part circus sideshow, part rock opera,
M.I.R.V. is more fun than a barrel of monkeys. Their music has been described as "Frank Zappa strangling KoRn with a little help from Luciano Pavarotti." Bizarre as it sounds, that's quite accurate.
Members of M.I.R.V. have played with the likes of Les Claypool, Jerry Cantrell, Montrose, the Limbomaniacs, Fungo Mungo, and Strapping Young Lad…and probably many others. Don't let their goofy onstage antics fool you, these guys are accomplished musicians.
Be sure to check out their official website at

One of the many uses of Booze.
Craig shows off his bloody bass. He had cut his hand on a beer bottle while playing the previous week. Is there anything cooler than a bloody instrument?
Another intimate backstage moment.
