Nat's Gnats

Nat's Gnats was a Punk Rock group who went on tour with Blue Ink (formerly known as The Infection) multiple times.

Early years, First Hiatus and Neptune's Ego EP (1981-1984)
Nat Peterson, Squidward Tentacles and Sheldon J. Plankton decided to start a band together after meeting at a community college. They all contributed to vocals, Nat was on guitar, Squidward was on bass and Plankton was on drums. Plankton built a machine to grow himself every time the band would play a show. In the first few years, the band went through several drum kits, bass guitars and lead guitars and an old tuba.

In 1982, Squidward and Plankton went to go and get their degrees, so the band went on an amicable hiatus for the next six months, before they crashed out of university.

In 1983, Eugene Krabs joined the band for six months and they powered through the Neptune's Ego EP

During the next year, Krabs left due to creative differences and they still mashed every instrument to the best of their ability.

The Gnat Album, 5 year hiatus (1986-1995)
In 1986, the band decided to work on their second release and debut album, "The Gnat Album." Most of the songs were written by Eugene Krabs, before he left to pursue greater things, the rest were written by Nat Peterson. The Nat Album combined Prog Rock, Garage Rock and Punk rock. Due to the length of the songs, they were very rarely played live.

The album was their longest in production, taking four years to produce. The writing process took two years and the mixing took a year. The album was then held back a year to release in 1990.

The album was met with critical acclaim and sounds completely different to the EP.

Creative differences lead to the band disbanding for five years, before getting back together in 1995 and writing their next full length album.

The Infection//Nat's Gnats Split Album (1995-1997)
After the hiatus, Nat Peterson was introduced to a new band by Squidward Tentacles called The Infection. Not much is known about the recording process of this album but it was met with favorable reviews.

Squidward's Chat, Farewell Tour and Permanent Disbanding (2006-2007)
In 2006, Squidward Tentacles was physically assaulted by Sheldon Plankton in an altercation that resulted in a lawsuit. Sheldon was kicked out and lost $500,000 in the court case.

Squidward's chat proved difficult to produce, because they had to spend the remaining funds of the band on a session drummer. The recording of this album was tedious for Squidward and Nat but they finished the album in a little over a year. They then embarked on a final tour and said their goodbyes to the fanbase.
