Hal Cragin
From This Might Be A Wiki
Hal Cragin is a bassist and singer-songwriter. From late 1997 to mid-1998, he was a member of the They Might Be Giants touring band. Cragin was also a member of John Flansburgh's side project, Mono Puff.
He played bass for TMBG on Factory Showroom (in addition to co-writing "S-E-X-X-Y") and Severe Tire Damage. He was also the namesake of the Mono Puff EP, The Hal Cragin Years.
Cragin was a studio musician on Jonathan Coulton's album Artificial Heart, which Flansburgh produced. Coincidentally, Cragin appeared as a part of the band The Scrantones, in an episode of The Office, in which fellow Mono Puff artist Kate Flannery had a regular role.
