  • Bio

    2loose is a solo singer/songwriter of dance punk and electric boogie woogie. Born George Einar Nelson in Wisconsin 1954 he grew up in a fundamentalist Christian home that eventually found him as a missionary kid in southern Brazil where he graduated from Vianopolis High School for MKs. While in school, Nelson learned to play guitar, a skill that gained him popularity with his fellow students and which complimented his already developing piano skills. But it wasn't untl he returned to Eau Claire in the early 70s that he began a decade of playing keyboards in the club circuits in 3 different cover bands. His musical influences then were the classic and southern rock sounds of Deep Purple, James Gang, Uriah Heep, Iron Butterfly. But following these "trendy" performances, Nelson took an "honest job" in computers to pay the bills and began privately working on a body of original material that eventually found its influences by the then more underground sets of Iggy Pop, Ramones, Generation X. The 80s technology allowed him to begin experimenting with solo work produced on 4 track cassette based recordings where he produced volumes of demos, the best of which have finally been published on his first self published cd, "Up Against The Wall" under the artist name of 2loose. Here he attempts to create his own genre called "grungelectric punk" and combines often pornographic lyrics with synth grunge and large doses of humor. In "Hollywood Whore" (produced at least 2 years before Papa Roach's own cd of the same name) 2loose expands his sound into a deeper synth metal sound on some and a light-hearted funk, not the least of which is his "Dr Boom Boom" which illustrates a plastic surgeon pleading "let me lypo suc your butt" and other memorable lyrical moments. Word on his main web-site at soundclick.com suggests his soon to be released (at the time of this bio-2009) cd, "Cosmic Boogie Man" has taken a brighter electronica sound while maintaining his lyrical edge but sounds less influenced by his early alternative works and instead is seeking inspiration from Bowie, T Rex, Suede, Ima Robot, but often with a true dance beat on the bottom. 2loose is once again attempting to invent a new genre which combines a drum-n-bass musical edge with the lyrical influences coming from the greats of Art Rock and early Glam. One can only guess where he will turn next for influences. B-52s? Frank Zappa? Roxy Music? But count on 2loose remaining to his own signature take on space age humor and tongue in cheek political satire as he continues his solitary journey thru cyber space.

2loose has proven once again to be one of the great genre busters. From the plucky electro funk of his hit, Dr. Boomboom, to his grungy head-banging synth metal (Boob Tube of Doom), 2loose has taken a sonic plunge from the lofty heights of ..Up Against The Wall.. (his first cd) and into the pits of comic mischief and thundering drum beats with his latest collection on ..Hollywood Whore... Every one of these jams is classic 2loose, a style that has been clearly honed thru the last few decades to leave us now with this opus magnum. In his lyrics one wonders to what extent these teen-angst masturbatory yearnings are autobiographical. How horny is this guy, really after all these years? Do city women truly act like ..Dogs In The Street?.. In this twisted universe that is 2loose anything is possible. Shreds of his sci-fi glam roots show through the floorboards in his ..Ladybug.. (a sick erotic nightmare with a six-legged girly monster) and bad B movie inspirations ring true in ..Bland of the Dead... But even when the beat is done, you..re still fist-pounding the air and laughing at the classic lines (to my hole you're the devil in my rock and roll) and (back when I bled, you really turned my head) or my favorite (let me lypo suck your butt). He..s a street slut, he..s Dr Boomboom, he..s ..Just A Star.. and this time if he does have something worthwhile to say, he..s buried it so far beneath that witty snarl that it'll take you several listens just to soak up all the fun. This is porn punk; this is mind metal. This is 2loose. He..s back. Boy is he back! -Einar Slime Pres. 2loose Fan Clubs sTinc
