JOE JACK TALCUM (OF THE DEAD MILKMEN)Joe Jack Talcum co-founded the Dead Milkmen in 1983, performing guitar and some vocal duties until they broke up in 1995. During that period, and still today, Joe makes solo home-recordings of songs that could only come from the mind of a slightly warped genius. .... An edited list of projects that Joe has been involved in over the years (besides the Milkmen) would look something like this: Ornamental Wigwam, Touch Me Zoo, Jiffy Squid, We're Not From Idaho, Sock, The Town Managers, The Big Mess Orchestra, Butterfly Joe (the band), Consumer 925 and The Headaches..... Currently, he plays in The Low Budgets and The Cheesies, while also continuing to record and perform solo.

THE BASSTURD
The Bassturd is this dude that plays keyboards, sings, raps, sometimes dances, and claims to be from Las Vegas. He records music, releases most of his own material, and plays shows. He's been doing this for 13 years now, and shows no signs of letting up anytime soon. He is a wildly prolific songwriter, having penned well over ten thousand songs. His closet is filled with boxes of recordings, that hopefully no one will ever hear. He is often marginalized, and called things like an "outsider artist" and "weirdo" by those in the know. To date, The Bassturd has released 21 full-length albums, 21 EPs, and one 7 inch single. His work has appeared in some documentaries, student films, and on various compilations over the years.
