Adopting a surname from his early days with the Foul Mouthed Elves, Al Foul has been making music for 20 years. Shortly after arriving in Tucson in 1989, he formed Al Foul and the Shakes, who became known for delivering something most Rockabilly bands at the time lacked: a raw poise and straightforwardness culled from a punk rock background. Now, as a one-man band, Al has been able to focus more on whittling his distinctive songwriting and inimitable style into a sharp point that pokes through the trends and fashions to get at something timeless. Al simultaneously sings and plays guitar while also working the bass drum and his homemade "stomparine." However, rather than simply relying on the thin novelty of being a one man band, Al focuses on writing memorable songs that bristle with wry wit and outcast erudition. He also still performs with a full band as Al Foul & The Shakes, or Al Foul's outer space bongo billy band. Al has toured throughout the United States many times over the years, and has also toured overseas in Europe as well. Currently he lives in Arizona. - Ben Lybarger, Rock N Roll Purgatory
