Johnny Vomit & The Dry Heaves was a high school garage band that formed in mid-1980's Corinth, Mississippi that featured future leaders of the Oblivians and Squirrel Nut Zippers, Jack Yarber (né Yarber) and Jim Mathus. Under the names Johnny Goopa (Yarber on drums) and Bart Barf (Mathus on bass), they supported Johnny Vomit on two seven-inch records issued on Eric (né Friedl) Oblivian's Goner Records.

Mathus would later appear (as a guest musician) alongside Yarber in his band South Filthy, which also features Memphis legend Monsieur Jeffrey Evans, Texan-via-Chicago blues harmonicist, Walter Daniels, and current Jack Oblivian and the Tennessee Tearjerkers organist/rock 'n' roll rebel Adam "Bomb" Woodard. Mathus appears on both their Sympathy for the Record Industry-released LPs.
