  • Bio

    The Fools barged onto the Boston music scene with their first single "She Looks All Right in the Dark". Known for their outrageous live performances the band quickly gathered a loyal and ever-growing audience. Their first national (and then international) hit record, "Psycho Chicken," was a parody of Talking Heads' Psycho Killer. With the signing of the band to EMI Records came the first two albums "Sold Out" and "Heavy Mental". A second single "It's a Night (For Beautiful Girls)" swung up the charts, followed by a cover of Roy Orbison's "Running Scared". Touring North America first with The Knack and then with Van Halen helped to place the band firmly on the national stage. European tours, including shows with Cheap Trick and Journey, resulted in huge overseas record sales. Back home again The Fools released their biggest album, "World Dance Party". The band then enjoyed MTV video success with their remake of Manfred Mann's "Doo Wah Diddy" and the title track video "World Dance Party". The album also racked up four big radio songs: "Doo Wah Diddy", "World Dance Party", "Life Sucks...Then You Die" and "She Makes Me Feel Big". .. .. These days The Fools live and work at the Mansion in Cape Ann's picturesque seaside township of Ipswich, Massachusetts. .. .. Check Upcoming Shows for performance dates and if you get a chance, do not miss catching the legendary Fools live. The mix of great music performed by uniquely talented musicians with a hefty helping of comedy comes together in an unmatched charm that has been lighting up millions of smiles over the years. Experience The Fools and smile for yourself.

    I went to see The Fools last night at Fireflys in Marlborough,Ma and they were fantastic !!!!!  Was with my boyfriend John and neighbor Dave and had a great time. Mike even let my boyfriend get up and sing, he was thrilled and is a big fan. Going to see them in Salisbury and looking forward to having another great time. This time I hope Mike lets John sing The Night Big Foot Stole My Wife....he does a terrific job. Thank-you for a great time !!!!!!
