Bobb Trimble

He released two full-length albums, Iron Curtain Innocence in 1980 and Harvest of Dreams in 1982. Following the latter's release, Trimble's recording activities ceased.

Over the next two decades, he gained a cult following, which included Ariel Pink and Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore. His records, originally pressed in quantities of 500 or less, became collectors items, some selling for as much as $1,500.

During the early 1980s, he had two backing bands: The Kidds (the average age of the band members was 12 years old) and The Crippled Dog Band (average age was 15 years).[https://www.theguardian.com/music/2007/nov/02/popandrock.alexispetridis "He's for real. Or should I say surreal?"] by Alexis Petridis, 2 November 2007, The Guardian "Suspicious parents" pulled the plug on both bands.{{AllMusic|class=artist|id=mn0000076903|tab=biography|author=Stewart Mason}}

2002 saw the release of Life Beyond the Doghouse, a vinyl-only compilation on Orpheus Records comprising unreleased recordings made by Trimble between 1983 and 1986.

Iron Curtain Innocence and Harvest of Dreams were re-released in 2007 by the Secretly Canadian label, each with a handful of bonus tracks.
