Looking... stalking... must have great jazz and swing chops, an extensive knowledge of classic rock, at least one tuxedo, and willingness to wear Ben Nye make-up (to cover the horrid rotting flesh...)
Influences
Everyone from dead jazzers to rockers like Alice Cooper... and of course, I have to admit my unhealthy worship of a trio called Black Velvet Flag! Horror flicks, autopsy reports, obituaries, true crime stories, and all things considered morbid aid and abet me in my musical torture trip.
Sounds Like
If Hell had a cocktail lounge, we would be the house band.
1962-1996: Buried in a shallow grave outside of Las Vegas, NV.
1996-2004: Grave disturbed, I rose again with some other jazz cats to form the internationally infamous ghoul jazz quintet, THE NECRO TONZ. Played some shows, Recorded a couple of CDs-- 1997's "ARE YOU DEAD, YET?" then 2002's 'WELCOME TO COCKTAIL HELL" (both for sale, plus some t-shirts-- e me!). Toured the US. Killed some guys... wait, have I said too much???
2004-2005: Took some much-needed time off ("Ihateus," er, I mean, "hiatus.") Call it a Black Sabbatical. Laid about the tomb, ate bon-bons, watched Sylvia Browne on "Montel," listened to Bon Scott, scrubbed the guerney with Bon Ami... oh, wait, I've said too much again, haven't I?
2005-present: Got a jazz gig on a luxury liner, boozecruisin' the Bermuda Triangle. COMING BACK TO THE U.S. AND NEED NEW BAND MEMBERS! Inquire within. I ain't sayin' another word...
