But The Fleshtones did one of their best shows I've ever seen them do , a couple of weeks ago. I knew I'd have to bank that in , because there probably won't be a good show til the summer. Mickey Dolenz and Michael Nesmith are doing a show , but the cheapest seats available are in the $175 and up range. I have'nt seen or heard of aything else.....How were the shows you went to? I was supposed to see The Jam in '82 , but , they broke up , mid - tour.  less

They have'nt played Chicagoland in about six years , and not in Chicago proper since.....probably 2004.  I first saw them in 1984 , and they've never failed. If you've seen 'em , you know. If you have'nt , it's not too late for your baptism by fire.       Rock 'n'Roll is doing it's goddamndest to prove it'd dead in The Windy City, but , it's always alive when The Fleshtones take the stage.

The reason they were referenced in "Wayne's World" was , a friend of the band (And future Kid Congo collaborator.) , Sally Norvell , was on the joke - writing staff for the movie. They were told to come up with funny band names , and the best one would appear in the final cut.   To this day , most people think The Shitty Beatles never existed. 


     The Deep Ellum club scene in Dallas was just springing to life at the time , but , I noticed bands well past 19 And without Zeppelinish hair were taking longer to acquire a following. Even Jim Heath (The Rev. Horton Heat.)  was not a local success , overnight.  He was all of 27 , and the idea of a somewhat older guy playing Rockabilly , concurrent with The Stray Cats' first failed comeback attempt was a hard sell.....Though nothing compared to the Shitty Beatles in all their glory.   Imagine a guitarist who looked a bit like Eugene Chadbourne , tho' not as "Look at me! I'm weird !", a red...    less

  • Other Hobbies/Interests Note - I know this is too long and too self - righteous, . It will be whittled down, shortly. I like playing my own music, live, and Deejaying when I can. Which is almost never. Have'nt had much luck with bands . Back history, roughly, is as follows - Born in an Elevator (1982.) - Cheezy, Wurlitzer organ - led, Cramps, Dead Kennedys, Psychedelic Furs and Clash covers, with 50's - 60's R'n'R fueled Noo Wavish originals. Part time Metal Guitarist from Sussex, UK, and almost, future Butthole Surfers' future Drummer sitting in with us . I'm not making this stuff up. Neutron Prom - 84 - 85. Solo . Ranting over my own tapes . Attempted guest spot on a Butthole Surfers ' show. Bombed. Elvis From Hell 84 - 86 . Dressed as the green zombie Elvis envisioned by Gary Panter, started out with a more horrific stage show, still singing over tapes. Fronted the group, Graceland, spring - summer, '86, then took up the Guitar, and went solo, again. Unnamed Rockabilly band, Summer, '86. COULD HAVE TORN DALLAS A NEW ASSHOLE, not that they did'nt have plenty, already (Don't get your dander up, we have more than enough here, in Chicago, too ....). 1986 - Present - Performing under my own name, on Vocals and Guitar, with occasional guest players, and one-shot projects, most notably with GPHO member, Psycho * Davy . We've performed together a few times as Sick, Sober and Sorry aka The 13th Floor Elvis Impersonators ( That's what I call us. Psycho *Davie calls us You Know and Who or The Ring Dang Duo. We're both right. ) There's recently posted video on you tube..... Daughter of Frankenstein - 1994. Garage Punk cover band, with a Gories /Demolition Doll Rods set up, two guitars, drums, no bass . Long Gone John heard our practice tape and said he liked it .....With Theresa Drda (Greaseballs. ) on Drums and Michelle Primeaux ( Naughty Fairies .) on Lead Guitar. Brian McMahon Mit Das Volt (1996.) Solo project, ex - Electric Eels. Members of Velveteen Loveseat, Functional Blackouts, and even Sky Saxon's band. Also sang backing vocals with Screamin' Jay Hawkins and Andre Williams. Bloodshot Bill and I perform together, sporadically as Bloodshot Battles Overdrive. Not a band, a mutual admiration society. Like going to Lucha Libre matches, collecting records, coffee table books, videos, DVDs, horror memorabilia, and other things that I don't need, but, can't live without .
