[edit] Biography
The band consists of the two founders, Evil Presly and Willy B, and two new band members, Phillip "Phelony Phil" Hill and Ian "the Bat Boy" Possible. The band started in the early nineties. They were discovered by Joey Ramone of Ramones whilst opening a show for them, during their "Acid Eaters" tour.[citation needed]
Joey later managed the band, and continued to be their manager, mentor, and friend until his death in 2001. Before he died, Joey produced the album Back from the Grave, along with his friend Daniel Rey.[citation needed]
In 2005, the band was involved in a serious van crash in England while touring with The Dangerfields. Willy B, who was riding in front, broke his arm in several places and the remaining dates were canceled. Within weeks, however, they were back on the road in their native South Carolina.
