  • Bio

    Way back in 1986, back when Cyndi Lauper and Boy George ruled the world with a velvet fist, the Trash Monkeys took their first baby steps on the long march to obscurity. Founding members Lloyd Johnson, Bill Orcutt, Mark Feehan, and George Kelley- fueled by a passionate need for public scorn and armed with a witches brew of guitars, Old Milwaukee, illegal chemicals and provocative evening-wear soon began to attract the attention of Miami's glittering, semi-comatose punk scene. .... After a few years of legendary shows, highlighted by the creative use of rancid meat, hungry dogs, and Vaseline, the Trash Monkeys came to the shocking conclusion that they were approaching competence and began to drift in other directions. George and Mark left to form the Stun Guns, Bill (and later Mark) started Harry Pussy, and Lloyd accepted a high ranking position within Perus Shining Path rebel army. .... Soon enough, however, the numbing drudgery of receiving critical acclaim, touring exciting cities and evading government death squads began to gnaw at the wayward Monkeys and they fell back into each others arms, weeping at their foolishness. With legendary Mike O'Brien (The Eat, Drug Czars) recruited at gunpoint to play drums, the reconstituted band has been faithfully offending South Florida audiences since 1997. .... Pass Out is our anthology, 19 songs spanning 13 years. Our aim is for it to be played, constantly, in airports and hospitals worldwide.

    Like a punk rock Little Richard - gay, but not quite ..so.. gay - singing lead for a backing band that sounds like - is - a cross between The Eat, The Drug Czars, and The Stun Guns. Oh wait, you haven't heard of them either.

    I used to watch you guys at Churchill's wow.. those were the days.. men running around in short skirts, someone dressed in Vaseline costuming was at a premium in those days.. and I only have my imagination to recreate it since I had no camera back then!

    That David Tyree catch reminded me of that miserable bastard Ken Stabler completing that fumblerooski bullshit pass just as I was about to tear his arm off in 1974.
