A Halo Called Fred is an independent band that played on the college circuit, mostly in New Jersey and at Rutgers University. They formed in the early 1990's. Their original songs can be loosely classified as comedy rock, citing influences such as The Beatles, They Might Be Giants, and The Muppets. Halo achieved minor fame and national press in 1994 by making their song (Hat) available as one of the first MP3 files for download through the IUMA web service.
