| The
Creepy T's
play music from the graveyard with the influences of blues, surf, garage,
punk, glam and B-movie trash culture. First formed in '98-'99, the T's
gained notoriety in South Florida, due to their catchy rock and roll songs
and also frontman Derek Hyde's stage antics, which include french-kissing
a skull and dressing in women's fashions. The T's were once kicked off the
stage at Ft. Lauderdale's Poorhouse for being "too loud." The
T's ended up headlining the Miami Rocks! festival (Iggy Pop himself was
spotted in the audience watching us!).
Guitarist and lead vocalist Derek Hyde then took off to New York, only to return to South Fla. in March 2001. Soon afterwards, he reformed the legendary Creepy T's with the addition of a full-time organ player, Tommy Rotten, formerly of Gainesville, Fla. and drummer Bobby Sox, originally from Liverpool, U.K.. Bobby Sox left the group to dig potatoes in the green fields of Ireland, and we have proudly added Ray "FANG" Henry as our skin-man. Unfortunately, we had to trade his trademark CreepyMobile for a microphone. I'm sure fellow musicians will understand... Our latest mad-dition to the gang is none other than Dr. Steven Van Helsing, who spends his time on genetic experiments on stingrays (this ain't no lie!). Marky Crypt swtiched to 2nd guitar and still howls. Personnel include onetime members of Kreamy L'ectric
Santa, the Holy Terrors, the Hivebuzzers, the Pop Skulls, F (one of the
five Florida bands named F) and the Claude Pepper
Blues Explosion. Drummer Ray Fang has long experience playing with acts in
New York, Georgia and Hawaii. |
