About Me |
|
| Way back in 1986, back when Cyndi Lauper and Boy George ruled the world with a velvet fist, the Trash Monkeys took their first baby steps on the long march to obscurity. Founding members Lloyd Johnson, Bill Orcutt, Mark Feehan, and George Kelley- fueled by a passionate need for public scorn and armed with a witches brew of guitars, Old Milwaukee, illegal chemicals and provocative evening-wear soon began to attract the attention of Miami's glittering, semi-comatose punk scene.
After a few years of legendary shows, highlighted by the creative use of rancid meat, hungry dogs, and Vaseline, the Trash Monkeys came to the shocking conclusion that they were approaching competence and began to drift in other directions. George and Mark left to form the Stun Guns, Bill (and later Mark) started Harry Pussy, and Lloyd accepted a high ranking position within Perus Shining Path rebel army. Soon enough, however, the numbing drudgery of receiving critical acclaim, touring exciting cities and evading government death squads began to gnaw at the wayward Monkeys and they fell back into each others arms, weeping at their foolishness. With legendary Mike O'Brien (The Eat, Drug Czars) recruited at gunpoint to play drums, the reconstituted band has been faithfully offending South Florida audiences since 1997. Pass Out is our anthology, 19 songs spanning 13 years. Our aim is for it to be played, constantly, in airports and hospitals worldwide. Also, when people vacuum (We've also thoughtfully inserted a song list and lyrics . What a deal!)) You may either, purchase the entire CD by contacting us via email, or, for a very reasonable price, download your very favorites for a small charge. (There will be more choices soon.) This profile created and maintained by "The Silent Backer" with moral guidance provided by M. Feehan . |
