Artist History Legendary band The Repairmen was formed in Danville, Kentucky in 1988 by a few bored teenagers with vastly differing musical backgrounds. Mixing heavy metal guitar, country sensibility, and the do-it-yourself philosophy of punk, The Repairmen wrote and recorded a handful of songs at various locations around town. The band played their only live set at Mark Newton's now-infamous party in 1988. No recordings of that show are known to exist. The band split up later that summer, as the various members left for college. Not wanting a lawsuit from any other band out there with the same name, The Repairmen are now referring to themselves as Uncle Jordy.
