Toothless George

Toothless George has been performing as a punk rock musician since 1988. He was the principal songwriter for THE HALFLINGS featuring members of the TEEN IDOLS (Fat Wreck Chords) and THE QUEERS (Asian Man Records) He also was with the now legendary STRYCHNINE BABIES featuring Christian Black (DEE DEE RAMONE Band, CHELSEA SMILES) He now has two active bands: He is performing as a one-man band, simply titled TOOTHLESS GEORGE & HIS ONE-MAN BAND. In that band, he plays guitar, bass drum, snare drum, two tambourines, harmonica, and sing simultaneously. He has been touring internationally with that project since 2002, and has garnered a lot of respect from fans of Country Music, Punk Rock, and even Metal. “Train Wreck”, the second song ever recorded as his one-man band, was featured as the opening song in the WARNER BROS. movie, "Flogging Margarette." The only drawback to performing and traveling alone is that you are alone. Traveling and playing music has always been the biggest joy in his life, but without anyone to share those experiences; he now finds that touring lacks the luster it once had with his former conventional, multi-member bands. The solution: start a new band. Less than a year after the debut his newest project, THE PERCS (formerly Percocettes), a female-fronted punk rock band, he had already released two EPs, done two continental U.S. tours, in addition to their extensive local show schedule, performed on WARPED TOUR, and were even chosen to open for RANCID (Hellcat Records) Toothless George's creativity doesn’t stop at simply being a musician. His name is also recognized as the author of the romance novel, "ANGEL OF THE AEGEAN" (STB Publishing), a professional skateboarder (Conformist Skateboards), and as one of the founding members & referee for The Philly Roller Girls roller derby league. In 2007 he was awarded The BARRYMORE AWARD for Excellence in Theater for a musical he helped to write, and perform in. He has been featured as a background character in many television shows. He is also an accomplished graphic designer. Some design credits include: Philly Roller Girls (logo), Motor Montenegro Jeans (print ads) Kid Dynamite (shirt design) Sailor Jerry Clothing (shirt design) Rob Zombie (shirt design) Hodad's (restaurant) and many others. In November 2011, ST Books just published a coffee table book of his rock poster artwork, called, "ONE NIGHT ONLY!" He is currently looking for a publishing agent for his second romance novel, “...OF DEATH AND BEAUTY.” He is also writing a new how-to book for aspiring musicians, based on his experiences in his own bands. This book will be called, "BAND TOGETHER," and features contributions from members of The RAMONES, DANZIG, THE DEAD MILKMEN, D.R.I., THE DISTILLERS, THE MURDER JUNKIES, and many more. Though it may seem out of character for him, musically, he has secretly ghost-written for a few semi-well known rappers, and produced beats for them as well. In August 2011, he just released a new dance mash-up mix tape, called “Mash From Chaos”. Just so you don’t think he is moving away from his punk rock and country roots, he is in the studio mixing a new One-Man Band CD that has yet to be titled, and is writing songs for a new PERCS album. TOOTHLESS GEORGE is a musician, an artist, an author, and incredibly good looking!
