The TOMMYKNOCKERS were never as easy band to describe - once called "voodoo-acid-blues-rant-and-roll" fronted by the bastard son of Alice Cooper & Joey Ramone (a frightening thought!), they eventually evolved into almost a power-pop band! But the emphasis was always on the power! Starting in 1989, the band went through several changes until Al Penzone joined on drums and the bass was picked up by the Princess, Laura Bennett. This line-up went on the first European tour and had a blast running amuck for several weeks! After the tour Al left for numerous reasons and when Rich answered the door to a near-mirror image, he knew that the TKs had the new drummer in Roger Ward! The magic was found with Laura and Roger and the band blasted through two more European tours, meeting their German cohorts, the Embryonics (see my crappy fansite here and every show ended up with everyone on stage as one giant band! The TKs also shook up Mexico City, Tijuana and all of the west coast! A number of records were released, but with the last one, The Clarity Is So Clear, the band came to an end as everyone went their separate ways.
