Bob
Log III was born in Chicago, Illinois and raised in Arizona. Growing
up, Log listened to musical artists such as AC/DC, Screaming Jay
Hawkins, Bo Diddley, Hasil Adkins and Chuck Berry, later commenting that
"That's what rock'n'roll is to me. You take a guitar, turn it up, make
the ladies dance, and have a good time.” Bob Log got his first guitar at
the age of 11, and by the age of 16 he had moved to slide guitar,
playing Delta blues, modeling his slide guitar style on that of
Mississippi Fred Mcdowell.
Log began his music career recording
and touring with Mondo Guano, a four-piece slide guitar, blues, home
made percussion band based in Tucson, Arizona. Upon leaving Mondo Guano,
Log went on to perform as one half of the Delta blues rock duo, Doo
Rag, with bandmate Thermos Malling.
After six years of making
music with Doo Rag, Bob began a solo career, warming up audiences for R.
L. Burnside, Blues Explosion, Ween, Franz Ferdinand, and Ani Difranco
among others.
Over time, Log acquired a kick-drum and a homemade foot cymbal which he custom-outfitted with a kick pedal of its own.
These instruments, combined with his slide guitar work, distorted telephone
microphone vocals, and drum machine accompaniment, form the framework on
which Bob Log constructs his songs. Log describes his on-stage setup in
the song “One Man Band Boom,” introducing himself to the audience as,
"Bob Log the third, one-man band, Tucson, Arizona. Heyeeeh! Lemme
introduce the band to ya. On cymbals, left foot. Over here on the bass
drum we got right foot. Shut up! This is my left hand that does all the
slide work, right hand does the pickin'. My mouth hole does most of the
talkin'. And you're looking at my finger. My finger is an asshole."
