Kev the Moron is the brainchild of Oswego State graduate Kevin Anderson. During Kevin's first semester as Head Lab Assistant for the Poucher Radio Labs he discovered that with a Mac he could make them talk with computerized voices. The first creation was Steve Hawkings Pizza followed by Computer Orgy and Computer Orgy 2. Those went on an unreleased cd which also contained a commercial for White Trash Chicken. In Feb 01 Anderson started posting his work on Napster under his real name but the legal troubles that the file sharing site found itself in lead to its end. The name Kevin Anderson had already been taken on MP3.com so Kev the Moron was born. KTM posted Steve Hawkings Pizza, Computer Orgy 2, Stephen Hawkings Sh*ts himself and Stephen Hawkings Self Love. Kev the Moron was surprised to find that he had a growing fan base outside of his circle of friends. After MP3.com's demise in 2003 Kev the Moron posted his work on Audiostreet.
Why this name?
Kev the Moron doesn't sound too flattering but it's a tribute to another comedic genius, George Carlin. Kev the Moron was hosting a college radio show which he called 'Rantings of a Moron' while using KA as his radio name. So as mentioned earlier KTM was chosen because his real name was taken by an opera singer. Kev the Moron was listening to the Carlin ablum 'Occupation: Foole' and thought if he combines his common nickname with his radio show.
Do you play live?
I act sometimes but I don't do stand up. Ranking 10th on the adult comedy charts on mp3.com was a highlight for me. Having the talented and famous rock drummer Johnny D from Southcott bow to me was pretty cool
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It got my stuff out there. It gives kids from the suburbs an easy way to hear music without having any life experience. Street cred is overrated anyway...Perv cred is all I need.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Comedy cds don't sell, so I sign a contract which is a loan that I won't be able to pay back with sales. I don't do live gigs so I can't earn it that way...I'd sign in a second.
