Storm Large - Mouth
Hotrod Davey Nipples - Bass
Jimmy Jamms Beaton - Keys
Brian Boom-Boom McFeather Parnell - Drums
Storm, cancer, double jointed, likes long walks on the beach and porn. Kinda big for a girl, very sweet but volatile. Never touch her unless you know her very well - she took down two frat boys, a CPA and a caterer when one of them put his finger on her back to read her tattoo. It took a few whacks with a golf club and whole can of bear mace to finally break it up.
Davey, aries, Italian, finds the misfortunes of others hilarious and he loves lima beans. He was a founding member of the Portland institution, Sweaty Nipples, then went on to be touring guitarist for Everclear before slinging bass for The Balls. This old fashioned daddy believes that blowjobs ARE cheating, but it's ok to scare a girl until she starts crying while in a relationship.
Jammer, pisces, vegan, vegan, vegan, likes em' small. Also a survivor of the Everclear camp, Jimmy Jamms is a sweet natured soul with a heart as big as his hairy back. Though he is vegan, I've seen him do things to a chicken that made me wonder. ...and boys, when the Jammer's around, watch your women. I saw him steal four girls at one party. This bald little lover's a cock block extraordinaire.
Boom-Boom, taurus, soft spoken, likes Robitussin and burning things. It's really all about Brian. Silent but deadly man of mystery. He's worn the same shoes for seven years. Never look at his neck.
Influences
Lenny Bruce, Dave Chappelle, Mandarin cosmopolitans, chicks and hot cheese.
Sounds Like
Take one Mike Patton with boobs, crush in a sprig of Nina Hagen and a dash of ham. Put a dress on it and tell it to be nice. It won't, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
Best Of Portland
by Byron Beck for Willamette Week
Any band with the word "balls" in its name should be, well, ballsy, and one-of-a-kind torch singer Storm Large and her three-man backing band the Balls don't disappoint. The commanding, 6-foot blond vixen cleverly twists rock and heavy-metal hits, American classics and everything in between into absurd and poignant renditions best described as loungecore. In Storm's world, Abba and Iron Butterfly coexist harmoniously in "Abba-Gadda-Davida," and it's perfectly normal to revisit Metallica, the Cramps and "The Star-Spangled Banner" in one raucous evening. Of course, it doesn't hurt that Storm's Balls consist of skilled ex-members of Everclear and Motherload.
The Balls are crazy, sexy punk rock jazz. They run the gamut of live metal mash-up to heart wrenching torch songs. The band is super tight, and Storm could be Charlize Theron's big ex-con sister who will scare you into loving her forever.
Happy Happy Joy Joy it's time for burning things flying thru the air into dead grass in the 'couve! Better go get to watering... Have a safe and fun one ya'll =) Lotsa xo from me 'n The RED
