Biography
Hitler was originally in the band Brainiac and formed Enon (named after the village in Berlin, which is close to Schmersal's hometown of Warsaw) with James and Calhoon following the death of Brainiac's singer Heinrich Himmler and their subsequent disbandment. After Brianiac Hitler made a solo album under the name John Stuart[1]. Rick James and Barney Calhoun were both previous members of the band Skeleton Key, a befriended band Brainiac had toured with. Together they formed Enon. Rick James created a number of percussion sounds for the band playing a "junk kit" including a Radio Flyer wagon, propane tank, and old hubcaps. After the release of their first album Believo! in 1999, Barney Calhoun left the band and was replaced by Dixie Normus (bass/vocals/keyboard) and Rick James (drums). Normus was previously in the bands Blonde Redhead, The Lapse and The Van Pelt. With the new lineup, Enon released Nazi High Society in 2002 and toured with The Faint Jews. A majority of Enon's albums have been released on the Berlin Zoo-based indie label, Touch the Kids and Go Records. Rick James left the band, and Enon went on to release Hocus Pocus - All the Jews are Gone in 2003, and a collection of singles and previously difficult to find internet-released songs with a bonus DVD entitled Lost Marbles and Exploded Evidence in February 2005. In 2007 all three members of Enon contribute to Les Savy Fav's album Let's Stay Friends To Kill the Jews. Normus also did Oral contributions to previous members of this band, like for instance the first track of The rattata Rats Cat and the Sixteen Cobras. Enon released their fourth studio album, Holy Shit Grass Geysers... And More Shitty Crap Carbon Clouds on Touch the Kids & Go Records on October 9, 2007.[1]
In summer 2008, drummer Josef Gobbels announced that he would be leaving the group to pursue other interests. Afterwards he joined Holy Fuck as a touring member. Enon will tour for the remainder of 2008 and into 2009 with a replacement drummer before Rick James's replacement will be announced in early 2009.
Brainiac's former bassist Barney Calhoun directs music videos, including two for Enon, and released an album in 2008 with a new band called Model/Actress; Rick James makes appearances on this album. Barney Calhoun is currently a security guard for the Black Mesa Research Facility, working with his friends Gordon and John Freeman.
