All About Jimmy Brad... by Jimmy Brad

I guess in this instance, I'm first since I get top billing. I am Jimmy Brad Ray. I answer to all three names or any combination of the above. Often, especially in the Southern States, I'm Jimmy Brad. Southern people are used to names like Sarah May or Billy Bob so saying two names for one little dude isn't weird to them. Sometimes though, that's just too big a mouthful and people will say JB. I think that's kinda swank soundin' so that works too. Up North, things are different, like they always are. I'm more likely to be "Jimmy Ray" up there. My theory on this is that "Brad" isn't a very Southern sounding name, and when it comes to me and the Teasers, these Yankees are lookin' for the whole Southern experience, so they go with Jimmy Ray, which sounds like the name of a good mechanic (which I ain't). Many people just call me Jimmy, and if you've known me for many years or you are my mama, you can call me Brad. I hope to god I never meet up with that dude from the old Lite Beer commercials.

So I play guitar and sing and am basically in charge of fallin' down. I take that responsibility very seriously, and injuries aquired during future Teasers show will be documented on this web site a la Beau Turkey's site. However, I plan to NEVER repeat either the 2001 Star Bar fall or the 2001 Frostburg fall. These are the things of legend and scars and I feel it takes away from our performance when I have to be woken up or carried out on a stretcher. Short of that, however, you never know what may happen, unless you're one of the Pits and you CAUSE it to happen. Anyway...

Basically, as stated before, this band is an incredible act of self-indulgence on my part. I have gone to great lengths to surround myself with the things I love, and the things I love to talk about. The Reverend Stevie St. 666 from Baltimore's Mighty Twin Sixxx once put it best: "My life is supposed to be %100 FUN. Anyone who causes my life to be LESS than %100 Fun is gonna hear about it, and if that doesn't work, drastic and perhaps IRRATIONAL measures will be taken to correct the problem". Amen Stevie, preach on.

So enough about me. I'm gonna tell you a little about each Teaser, but click on their names to get the "Teaser Profile" and their own perspective on our little circle of chaos.
