About Me

Formed in Hattiesburg, MS in late 1994, to fill an opening slot in a show that Scott, ( founding member, who worked part time booking bands at a venue called Tal's Dart bar), had underbooked for that night. Touching Morons started with no more expectations than one night of fun, opening up for Marsh, (motherband of The Comas, The Grumpies, The Overnight Lows, and White Trash Superman) from Jackson Miss. We went on to play parties, shows, festivals and even occasionally practiced! the lineup has changed several times during our 13-year run with the one constant being the presence of Marty Pants and his intrepid sensabilitys... some think he can control the weather, others find him unduly jejune. Now, superstars Willy Moron, Davey Moron, Jeffery Moron and Marty Pants are all quite giddy with rockticipation and touching morons are set to rock you silly - well into the new millineum!
