The Professors

Hailing from Dayton, Ohio, U.S.A., The Professors specialize in but one thing, and one thing alone: hip-shakin’, rafter-swingin’, barn-stormin’ rock ‘n’ roll. These five lads offer up a suitable alternative to higher education via trashy 12-bar rave-ups and an incendiary (or least, incandescent) live act.
Taking their cue from such legendary raunch-and-rollers as THE SONICS, THE WILDE KNIGHTS, and THE SPARKLES, The Professors received the good word and have made it their mission to deliver the Now-Sound to the untamed youth of today.
The Professors have had audiences stomping, shouting, and workin’-it-on-out since June of 2004. Despite the departure of co-founding guitarist “Crazy Joe” Tritschler soon thereafter, a primitive garage rock monster had been brought to life and could not be restrained.
Richard M.F. Stockton XII swings the mic, while Brian “Boss Hogg” Hoeflich assaults a wide range of vintage guitars. Tommy Raygun mashes the keys, and Boom-Boom tears the drumkit a new one. Meanwhile, Dangerous Derek G. pummels the bottom end until the last beer glass rattles off the table.

Have you performed in front of an audience?

Yeah we have been playing out mostly in Dayton, at Canal Street. We played at Peaches in Yellow Springs and Richard was singing from ontop of the bar! That was a great show.
