The Story of a Mock 'n' Roll Band

Biography: Uncle Larry

Evel Karaoke What can you say about Uncle Larry? No, sorry, he owes ME money, too. Known by his parents as "The Artist Formerly Known As Our Son", this disillusioned rock icon wannabe lost the will to rock with respect when acts like Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi—hell, ANY band from the 80s—made it big. It was a chance encounter with a karaoke booth at the Brockton Fair in July, 1988 that made it all hit the fan. The Doktor wrote and recorded the now semi-legendary "(Want It) Up My Behind" by Bung Joleme, and Motley Spew's "Chokin' In The Boys' Room" (a reworking of the hit by Brownhole Station) in 2 hours...and heard it blared throughout the Fair's midway by the booth's operator (present whereabouts unknown). He KNEW he HAD something (a visit to the free clinic cleared it up); but the world would have to wait seven more years for the Doc of Shock to begin the golden flow of verse known as Evel Karaoke.

Fast-forward to Summer, 1995: Uncle Larry is confined to three months' bedrest after attempting Richard Gere's Disappearing Gerbil Act with a baby freshwater crocodile at a Provincetown magic club. While watching an endless parade of talk show freaks, talentless eMpTy-Vee product, and knife-wielding football heroes, something went off inside him. After spraying the room with Lysol, he put pen to pad; and when his wife took BACK her pad and gave him some PAPER, he set forth on a mission to leave an indelible stain on the fabric of pop music.

To do this, he would need a phallic - er, PHALANX - of people willing to stand erect in the face of the music biz and discharge fountains of thick rhythms, creamy melodies, and lyrics dripping with moist, satisfying irony, sarcasm, and wit. Not to mention smut. In his own words:

"Thank you ALL for being part of the sigmoidoscopy rod travelling the colon of art to rid the blockage that threatens the body of our culture! Come to the shows, click on the links, and become a part of a musickal revolution...or just stay home "downloading" to internet porn. The choice is yours."
