Farmers were a San Francisco-based band, active in the early 1980s. The band started out with [[Vudi]] on guitar and vocals backed by his brothers Popeye and O.P., [[Tim Vaughan]] played drums, Scary Larry played pedal steel for a bit, Mike Helland and Bill Sparks played saxophone, and [[Brian Schindele]] played keyboards. [[Matt Norelli|Matt "Sluggo"
Norelli]] played percussion on occasion, and Frankie G sang and Jeff Hirano played guitar in the band's later incarnations.

Keyboardist [[Brian Schindele]] appropriately describes their style on his website as, "Punk Jazz? Nick Drake inspired psychedelia meets Funkadelic? Cowboy noise? Taiwanese Disco Cover Band? One big mess? Sure."

Farmers released a four song 12" EP ''Packed In An Urban Area'' and a cassette ''Tragic Tales Of Life'', as well as a couple of demos.

[[Vudi]] had a unique visual sense as well, and produced a number of striking posters for the band, usually grainy black and white pictures that could be funny and gruesome at the same time (one poster was the famous shot of the corpse of Mussolini hanging upside down in barbed wire - with the picture inverted he looks like he's doing a very macabre dance). The cover of the EP ''Packed In An Urban Area'' featured a crisp black and white photo by San Francisco photographer [[Bobby Neal Adams]] of horses being slaughtered in an abattoir.
