BIOGRAPHY

Two years before the punk rock movement broke, Toothless George was born to a truck driving mother and a gas station owning father. George, like a lot of adolescents, rebelled against his parents and his parent's country music. Embracing the punk rock music of The Sex Pistols and The Misfits, George started a nameless punk rock band of his own in 1988. Since then he has had thirty-one releases under the names of three mildly successful bands, Mao & The Chinese Revolution, The Halflings, and The Bedrockers. He has performed thousands of shows, including Warped Tour dates, and has toured the continental United States so many times, he ran out of fingers. In 1996, while on tour with The Teen Idols (Honest Don/Fat Records), George was once again exposed to country & rockabilly music- this time with more mature and open ears. He explains that to him, "…rockabilly music is just as rebellious as punk rock, and is a natural progression for punk rockers who grow out of mohawks…" George began writing country and rockabilly songs while with his punk rock bands, but had no outlet for those tunes. When his last band played a show with Hasil Adkins in 2002, he was blown away by his one-man show. After that band's untimely demise, and with no prospective new bands mates, remembering Hasil's amazing show, George began emulating the one-man master, playing guitar, drums, harmonica, and singing all at once, and found that he wasn't that bad at it. Toothless George played his first solo show in March of 2002 and has been entertaining rockabilly, metal, and punk rock fans of all ages ever since.
