Doug Bennett was the band's namesake and lead singer. He continued to perform with the group until his death in October 2004.
The song "Too Bad" (from Cognac And Bologna) not only was their first hit, it was used as the theme song for The Norm Show, 1999-2001 sitcom starring Norm Macdonald.
For the entirety of their recording career (1978-1992), Doug & The Slugs consisted of lead vocalist Doug Bennett, guitarists Rick Baker and John Burton, keyboardist Simon Kendall, bassist Steve Bosley and drummer John "Wally" Watson. Most of the Slugs left the band after 1992 (Kendall stayed until 1994); after this time, Bennett toured with an ever-rotating cast of new musicians, still billing the act as Doug & The Slugs.
