Prolific outsider artist – home studio, into-the-board, rock w/ heavily distorted guitar and bass, strange sloppy percussion, distinctive obnoxious vocals and a flute, yes, an omnipresent flute. Jewishness themes throughout. KZSU fave and vice versa. Play with Wesley Willis, Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedys, Dick Panthers, Guaranteed Katch. Truly bizarre if not silly.
