The Bloodhound Gang’s origin dates back to 1988, when rappers James “Jimmy Pop” Franks and Michael “Daddy Long Legs” Bowe formed the band Bang Chamber 8 with their Perkiomen Valley High School classmates Kevin Hennessey and Justin Ianelli. They released a four-song tape, Just Another Demo , in 1990 before Hennessey and Ianelli left the band, which was renamed to the Bloodhound Gang in 1992. The band’s new name came from a segment on the 1980s PBS children’s show 3-2-1 Contact that featured three young detectives solving mysteries and fighting crime.
