Band/artist history
Born and raised in Prudhoe upon Tyne, or so they would have us believe.
Lucky Me? But are we so lucky? And who is the real Paul Douthwaite. All of these questions I hope to answer.
On that fateful day of 9:11 when the first plane hit the twin towers and the world sat back in mourning we can all remember where we were.
Where was Mr Douthwaite when the catastrophic events unfolded?
Mr Douthwaite was in fact reading 'Henry the hungry hippo' to a class of 17 year old school girl's, who took it in turns to sit on his lap. Is this the action of a true leader? The story goes back a little further than that though.
Picture yourself way back in the past, in a small town in the cockle mining district of San Enchilada, New Mexico. A boy was born, son of a local rhubarb merchant and a convicted jezebel. The boy was named 'Paulito Rodriguez El Flambo'.
El Flambo's early life was uneventful. He would spend hours as a boy out with his father shooting gipsies and pressing flowers. It was when, as a teenager El Flambo decided to take to the road and journey through South America on the back of a high powered tricycle, that his taste for adventure began. There ensued a dramatic road trip, the young explorer visiting a host of leper colonies, primarily to laugh at the afflicted contaminee's often poking them with pointy sticks and occasionally utilising there ossified limbs as materials for elaborate practical jokes.
In his late teens El Flambo joined a young Cuban leader in an armed military uprising to bring about the liberation of his country. This followed the governments decision to raise taxes on luxury items such as didario XL size 9 guitar strings, condoms and baby oil. Unfortunately, El flambo's gorilla troop became surrounded on all side by government troops. It looked like the end for El Flambo. However, in an act of true bravery and camaraderie, El Flambo was able to escape across the border after using several of his comrades as a human shield. El Flambo escaped to North America, dressed in the skin of a fat soldier, murdered by his own regiment.
Once in California El Flambo adopted the cunning disguise of a minister of the cloth. It was during this time that El Flambo (or as he was then known Reverend Elwood Flanders) founded 'The Church of Christian Rock'. With songs like 'jump on Jesus' and 'D.I.R.T.Y. girls go to hell' The right reverend soon amassed a huge following and starred in infomercials to raise money for his 'good deeds'. However, the good times wouldnt last and El Flambo once again fled the country. This followed an unfortunate incident with business partner and Texas oil baron Mucky Lee McKenzie. Mucky found the right reverend in his Jacuzzi filled with breast milk in the company of Muckys wife, daughter and mother indulging in some most unpleased acts with sack of grade-A cocaine and a larded cucumber. As if this wasnt enough El Flambo was wearing a pair of Mucky's slippers and having just dined of a meal of Mucky's prize stallion the racehorse 'wilful sausage' he had then shat an enormous shit upon an upturned portrait of the oil baron. Needless to say Mucky did not take this well and a fight ensued. Unfortunately, Mucky came of worst and leaving a trail of blood from his Bel air home, Mucky vanished never to be seen again.
Two years later, now sporting the disguise of a long haired rocker, El Flambo enlisted the assistance of 4 musicians working in a Tyneside fish-filleting factory. The real Lucky Me was born.
