From the original 2001 website, which I just found in the Wayback Machine!

"Acoustic Herring is the intergalactically famous musical group from the island nation of Beeraguay. Fighting against the evilness of the Pink and Purple Poodles of Passion, Doug, Tim, Ken and Claire spend a lot of time drinking beer and writing music."

I have an archive of that site somewhere, with all the images I made, but for now the 2nd album cover was the only one I could find, so that's my profile picture for the time being. Hey, it's better than the creepy "silhouette guy" default image.
