Artist History Great comedy meets great musical talent - in high quality DDD digital audio. Original musical satire by Todd with characters Cletus & Clem, MC Honkey & G. Doofus, and (perhaps most strangely) himself. Unlike most people who use three names, Todd Richard Lyons isn't a pretentious twit. Usually. He uses his middle name professionally so he's not confused with "The Wildman" Todd Lyons, of BMX biking fame (look up "Todd Lyons" on the internet, and you'll see the problem). Todd has been making music on and off (mostly off) since 1985. His professional music career prior to September 2002 was as a backing musician (bassist) for a variety of music projects, including reggae, pop and hard rock bands. After spending too many years in failed bands, he finally decided he would be happier failing as a solo artist, than dealing with the egos, growing pains, and inevitable breakups associated with band membership. His songs are both lyrical and musical parodies. If you don't like one song (because of the style, not the lyrics) - try another. Any style from rap to country is fair game, and Todd is determined to destroy them all one at a time.

Group Members Todd Richard Lyons (vocals, guitar, bass, drum programming).

Press Reviews "I like it. I think it should be a huge hit on MP3.com. Unlike a lot of stuff on there, your "Cats" song is actually kinda funny. And it's actually recorded well. People will be astounded! I might play it on the show sometime if that's okay." -- Gonzo Greg, Morning DJ, The Big Dumb Show (bigdumbshow.com). X-103 WRZX-FM Indianapolis

Additional Info Todd is actually Canadian. Yes, it's true. He was born and raised in the little town of Flin Flon, Manitoba (find THAT on a map). But life takes you strange places (like Indiana). He has learned to blend in with Americans to the point where he's often assumed to be one of them. Being bilingual in both Canadian and American has helped immensely. And yes, he has a valid work Visa and SSN card.
