The Hoodlum Circus

About Me

Sometime in late 2006, The Hoodlum Circus was formed in a dank basement in Reading, PA. Up through the floorboards came a demented sound that was raw and difficult to classify. Driven by their vocalist’s passion for sixties punk and psychedelia, they started playing songs that would rattle the ear drums of anyone in the immediate vicinity. This counter-hegemonic sound slowly began to resonate with local freaks and soon became inseparable from the Hoodlum experience.David Sharkley - A drummer whose primal precision lays the foundation for the rest of the band.Mad Frankie - A classically trained madman, armed only with a bass guitar, who filibustered his way on to the scene many years ago.Chronic Milanek- A medicine man whose concoctions consist of donkey-punching riffs and manic guitar runs.Matt Possible – The front man who encourages mental instability and whose drunken howl has made many a straight-laced citizen cringe.The Hoodlum Circus; Gonzo Rock’n’Roll for the doomed.
