Titled Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, the LP also included bassist J.D. Foster and featured Dave Pirner and Dan Murphy from Soul Asylum. Mars' follow-up, 75% Less Fat, released in 1993, featured only himself and Foster, and showed his first attempt at moving away from straightforward rock stylings.
3 days ago · In fact, after listening to Horseshoes and Hand Grenades it seems pretty clear that the Replacements would have benefited greatly had Chris Mars been granted a bigger role. This is truly as solo as a project can get, with Mars writing all the songs, playing 90% of all the instrumentation, and even doing the album artwork.
Mars sings, drums and plays guitar and keyboards on Horseshoes and Hand Grenades, enlisting bassist J. D. Foster as his sideman. (Dave Pirner and Dan Murphy of Soul Asylum make contributions to three tracks as well.)
Horseshoes and Hand Grenades is the 1992 debut solo album by Chris Mars. The album contains the hit song "Popular Creeps," which denounces snooty high school cliques. Most songs seem to cover break-ups; mental illness; homelessness as a trend; alienation; and apparently the rest of his former band, The Replacements.
In 1992, Murphy appeared on the debut solo album by former Replacements drummer Chris Mars, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades. Soul Asylum's success in the early 1990s gave Murphy the funds to start collecting pin-up art. This interest led to the opening of his own art gallery, the Grapefruit Moon Gallery, in 2003.
