Mel Thorpe & The Sucktones were assembled back in the early 1920s. It started out as a band of gypsies playing at bah mitzvah's mostly. Over the years most of the members committed suicide by overdosing on egg yolks taken intravenously. Curiously, these days the band is mostly made up of Grammy award winning River Dancers and rejects from the Blue Man group. This was not planned, its just a weird coincidence. The band tours constantly, never in the same city two nights in a row. You can usually catch them playing at your local animal shelter, dental office or sponge factory. Basically any place that is capable of housing the massive number of fans that show up to all their shows. Including the group of one-legged hermaphrodites that follow us around the world and never miss a show.
