Trainwreck - Special Guests

~ JERRY MCCRACKEN ~
Jerry McCracken is a trucker friend, second cousin on Darryl's stepsister's side. When he's not hauling freight or chasing down jackalopes in the southern plains, he can be found rocking your local saloon with his musical prowess.

~ SLIM RIBBINS ~
Friend of many, lover to few, Slim is Darryl's second cousin on his Daddy's side. He fancies himself a folk singer but Slim is all-bluegrass all-the-time...and he's interested in politics...go figure.

~ SUE SUE ~
Darryl's second ex-wife who has been known to appear uninvited to T-Wreck gigs...where she jumps up on stage and does backup vocals...which she rocks so fricken hard at that Darryl lets her hang out. The restraining orders are often overlooked, but dont be around those two offstage.... not good, peckerwood. Check out Sue Sue's other persona MOLLY BRYANT ... her new solo cd just released...check it out and TAKE IT EASY.

~ SLIM REDMOND ~
He's related to Klip via many degrees of cousins.. and he ripped the first bass tracks for Trainwreck's studio album. His mastery of the thump thump guitar has led him to touring gigs with BECK and Slim was a founding member of 80's band Red Kross, which layed early tracks in alt. rock history. He eats like a bird and his slimness is rivaled only by the shredman.

~ LIBERTY JOE CANOLI ~
Liberty Joe is the road manager extroadinaire for the Wreck. His super-honed road sense includes the power of precise navigation, location knowledge of not-to-be-missed truck stops, and inpenetrable backstage doorman techniques-- have your IDs ready, ladies. Liberty Joe also supports and enforces the Wreck's sausage-to-donut backstage ratio. Be nice to Joey... he works hard and delivers...much like Karl Malone. He's a recent transplant to the Wreck's LA compound. Say hi to him. oh and Ladies--- he's single as a shingle in a storm. Did I mention his "magic fingers" ? Well then....now, ya know.

~ TUFFY MCFUKELBY ~
Second cousin to Darryl and former classmate of Klip's, Tuffy is a friend and former member of Tuffy and the Tufftones. His anger keeps him from getting invited to many gigs, but when he shows up, he's sure to bring a can of rockass with him. Tuffy loves Elvis and Robert Goulet.

Band Members - Special Guests

~ HAUS PLANTAIN ~
Benefactor and host of the wreck, HAUS, is Klip's step-uncle on his stepdaddy's side. He is the owner and general manager of the WRECKABEGGO and maintains its high standard of tourability. He likes bourbon and hot tub parties.

~ KENNY BOB THORNTON ~
Drummer Emeritus
Contrary to popular belief, Kenny Bob is not related to the academy award winning actor of the same sirname. Kenny Bob (a.k.a Kevin Weisman) began drumming at the tender age of 9 (much to his neighbor's chagrin). He has played in a number of bands over the years, and has found his happy home with the 'wreck. Drummers he likes: Phil Selway (Radiohead), Max Roach, Zakir Hussein, Elvin Jones, Glen Kotche (Wilco) and BAM BAM. Kenny Bob was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. He went to UCLA's School of Theatre, Film, and Television, where he met Darryl Donald. Kenny Bob and Darryl used to enjoy Tommy's burgers and many laughs while finishing their studies. Kenny Bob, often creative in other ventures, went on to become a founding member of the award winning, critically acclaimed BUFFALO NIGHTS THEATRE COMPANY. Due to Klip's lack of appropriate distribution of Twreck funds, Kenny Bob has been forced to take some acting work on the big and little screens. Kenny Bob likes dogs.

~ LANCE BRANSON ~
Lance Branson (Chris Darienzo) has been described as "the genius behind Trainwreck." "The soul of modern music as we know it." "The reason birds sing and rainbows shine upon this great land." * However, Lance is a simple man. Born and raised in the apple orchirds of Paw Paw, Michigan, Lance was discovered by Klip and Darryl as the two crossed the country for their yearly pilgramage to Detroit and the birthplace of Grand Funk Railroad. At first, Lance declined their invitation to join Trainwreck (opting instead to spend a year at the Midwest Composers Conservatory). However, Lance was wooed into the Trainwreck family when his baby brother developed a rare strand of Polio and Lance had no choice but to sell out and join this highly-profitable rock ensamble.
