Elmer Twitch Is...

BUC - Lead Vocals & Dancing Fool

Buc is originally from the planet Gexoklvby 17.  He immigrated to Earth when he was 12 in order to find work in the concrete industry.  But He always knew his real love was singing... In the shower... in the car... in the rain... and finally on stage.  He learned the trade in the 80's band "Voyager" then moved on to "Fat Eddie" and "Buc & Joe" before finding his way to Elmer Twitch. 

He is fond of long walks on the beach, re-runs of Charlie's Angels and likes a good pair of work boots.

JOE TESSMER - LEAD GUITAR & ENFORCER

Joe is a former child actor most remembered for his roles on such 70's TV shows as "Welcome Back Cotter", "Shaft" and "Sanford & Sons".  Once puberty hit his acting career dried up and he decided to learn to play the tuba.  When that didn't work out he fell back to the guitar and found that he wasn't half bad at it.  Along with Buc he formed "Voyager", "Fat Eddie" and "Joe & Buc" (which got it's name from their hero's, Joe Montana and Buc Rogers) before he too found his calling in Elmer Twitch.

In his spare time Joe likes to hunt polar bears, drive school bus and reinvent the wheel.

SKIBOB - GUITAR & FAITH HEALER

Before becoming a guitar player Skibob made a name for himself in the lucrative Mall Santa game.  However, do to the high stress, dry cleaning bills and weight discrimination he was forced into early retirement.  Looking for something to fill his time and supplement his income he turned to the guitar.  That didn't work either but he still likes to play.  He has been a member of "Black Rose", "Damaged Goodz" and now... Elmer Twitch. 

When Skibob is not in jail he enjoys playing backgammon, eating tofu and learning to tie his shoes.

JOSH ZENNER - BASS & ARM WRESTLING

Josh was born with no soul.  After countless operations, exorcisms and intensive psycho therapy, he is still soul-less.  Despite the odds though, he has founded THE CHURCH OF THE GOLDEN COWBOY (mostly for tax purposes).  He has promoted himself to "Deacon Of The Six Shooter" and hopes to one day climb the ladder to become "THE GUY AT THE TOP OF THE LADDER".  Josh has taught himself everything he knows about everything.  He formerly played bass in "CRUZ" before joining ELMER TWITCH.

Josh likes to hear the sound of one hand clapping, fight non-violently and arrange his underwear by color (of stains).

JOE GOLLA - DRUMS & LION TAMING

Joe G dropped out of beauty school to become a full time gastroenterologist.  He quickly rose to the top of his field and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his design for a better mousetrap.  He didn't win.  Afterwards he turned to playing drums and getting arrested for it.  He has been in many bands including "Lazarus", "Modym", "Renegade", "Pulse" and "Backstreet" before being tapped to fill the drum throne in Elmer Twitch.

When he's not behind the drums you can find Joe singing French karaoke, bottling toilet water for a major bottled water company and filing tax forms for people who have been dead for years.
