Those Dreaded Gnats started out playing live in the 1990's, with costume changes, fog machines, guest appearances from an "overweight hamburger eatin" Elvis, love dolls, and incorporating video into their act (among other things).

Around the mid 2000's they began working on some "edgy/comedic" Xmas songs that got some very positive responses. By 2007, a number of their songs from their CD " A Dreaded Xmas -more xmas negatives" made their way onto an independent movie called "A Halfway House Christmas".

They've since released 2 more CD's The Ghosts of Christmas Past, and George's "Realities".

Also in 2009, Harry and George added Violin/Guitar/Keyboard player Extraordinaire Yuri Turchin to the mix, who also has a long list of musical accomplishments.

Music featured in the following films/shows:
A Halfway House Xmas ...Lumpy Rock Prod.
Jersey Justice ...Browntown Films
6 Days ...Jim Leo Prod.
Scarred ...MTV2
