Less Than Jake
 Vinnie:
lyrics, drums, pez
The band's pez fascination starts here. Vinnie writes most of the lyrics and has been a pez collector for years. So inevitably his fascination creeps into a few songs. If you think this is all hype check out the Pez tattoo from his leg. Despite being a core member of the band, he's always hidden behind the drum set, so odds are good this is all you'll ever see of him.
Breaks guitar strings at a rate of about one per two songs. Obsessed with 80s
metal, and not in a joking kind of way. Who else in 1998 has pull out posters
from Circus and Heavy Metal covering their walls. As for the costumes, at any
show odds are good he's spent 30 minutes putting on an elaborate outfit and wig,
and that he'll end up throwing it aside 1 minute into the first song. Now sharing equal microphone time with Chris, 'the twigster' plays bass as well. On stage he runs around scaring the horns by jumping of the drum set riser. The apartment that he and Shaun share is literally covered wall to wall with their combined toy collections. Recently he's gotten heavily into Pez collecting as well, and is starting to give Vinnie's collection serious competition.
The most senior of the horns answers to the name 'Goldfinger' and has done so
for years. Several times when asked to give an autograph
this causes a problem. When the kid finally reads it he assumes Buddy being a
jerk and joking about the band Goldfinger. Seriously -- it is his name. One leg, one room, and two cats -- shrines to all things Star Wars related.
Jan 98 he finished a wrap around tattoo of the trilogy. Now he's thinking of
doing another one about the next three movies. His poor wife has to live in a
apartment where 1/3 of the space is filled with a collection that would make
Lucas jealous. Ask him about the cats yourself. A toy junkie, a tattoo canvas, and the guy who's job it is to keep the chaos onstage just below critical mass. On stage he's either crouched down in hiding, or he's throwing out stuffed animals and working the toilet paper gun. And while he looks angry here, he's probably the most easy-going member. Pete - trombone  At shows you may find
a few more weirdoes with the troop. Classics include the Skankin Bear, Mr. Skull,
Howard J Reynolds, the Gay Cowboy, Glen Steffani, the guy with the big red hair,
Jake 3:16, the helmet kid, Will Fuck for Tix, Lil' Puddy and a bazillion others.
